NativeBio Data Consortium and partners constructed a Tribal Data Repository (TDR) to provide a safe haven for data from Tribal Nations that is generated from federally funded projects and to empower Tribal communities to directly govern their data. Indigenous Data Sovereignty is a foundational principle to the TDR; these principles guide co-creation of unique agreements with Tribes on storing, sharing, accessing, and using data from NIH-funded projects involving American Indian/Alaskan Native people. The TDR exercises a federated governance model that provides an avenue for Tribes to provide direct input into decision-making processes in the TDR and how their data is stored and made available to research, allowing for Tribes to have direct control over policies and procedures that regulate their data. This presentation is aligned with Theme 2: Authority to Control because it’s a system that uploads Indigenous authority to control their data in US federal funded research projects.
