Ministry of Health
Data Stewardship Secretariat
The Data Stewardship Secretariat in the Office of the Chief Data Steward provides administrative, technical, strategic, policy and decision support to the Data Stewardship and PharmaNet Stewardship Committees, and is the point of contact with the Committees and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner on requests to contact for participation in health research.
Requests to Contact Individuals to Request Participation in Health Research
All requests to use data for the purposes of contacting individuals to request their participation in health research must be reviewed and approved by the Information and Privacy Commissioner. If the contact will be made using data from the Ministry of Health or a health authority, applications for this review are to be submitted through the Data Stewardship Secretariat.
Researchers considering an application are asked to contact the Secretariat to discuss their project and request the application and/or request to contact forms.
