The UCLA IRB Policy 42 allows for registration of public use datasets and publicly available data depositories to eliminate the need for obtaining a Certification for Exemption of Review.
This means that any data available from the following pre-approved public use data sets can now be freely used with no paperwork or certifications required:
The ISSR Data Archive<http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/issr/da/> will assist in getting other public use data sets registered; please send your suggestions or requests for further information to Libbie Stephenson, Archivist (libbie@ucla.edu). Check out the IRB Policy 42 periodically as more data sets may soon be registered.
