The NIH Certificate of Confidentiality (CoC) online application system for non-NIH funded research has re-opened (see our past news blurb about its temporary closure). Study teams collecting highly sensitive data can now request a CoC. If a CoC is issued, the study’s ARROW application should be updated to note the receipt of the CoC and update consent language, as needed.
