Standing Databases
The National Healthcare Group (NHG) Research Data Oversight Committee (RDOC) provides oversight of cluster-wide policies and procedures on the use, management and security of research data. The Committee makes recommendations for the improvement of research data management practices to ensure compliance with legislations, in particular the Human Biomedical Research Act (HBRA), and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and Healthtech Instruction Manual (HIM).
With effect from 01 August 2020, all NHG Standing Database applications will be routed for final approval by the NHG Research Data Oversight Committee (RDOC). Please note that you should only proceed with your standing database activities after receiving the RDOC approval letter.
