What happens to my Data and Analysis Results when I am done?

To protect the data holder, raw data is not released to researchers. However, the results of all analysis and scripts are available so long as they are in compliance with the vetting rules (guidelines for what data can be shared and in what forms). The rules for a particular data set are established at the time agreements are made and recieved anually. Data holders and EAL reserve the right to update vetting rules.

Researchers will contact SEAL’s manager when they would like their results and the manager will review the materials relative to the vetting rules and send all the needed analysis files.
