Navigating Data Use Agreements (DUAs) is a critical but often complex part of research administration. From privacy considerations to compliance and institutional risk, understanding how to choose and apply the right DUA is essential for protecting your institution and enabling research success.
Join leaders from the FDP Data Stewardship Subcommittee and DTUA Working Group for a practical, engaging session on the fundamentals of DUAs and how to leverage the FDP DTUA templates effectively. Our expert panel will clarify the different FDP DTUA versions, share insights on selecting the right agreement for your project, and discuss common challenges and solutions from the field.
Whether you're new to DUAs or looking to deepen your expertise, this webinar will provide actionable tools and knowledge to better support your researchers and manage data-sharing responsibilities.

- It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge or Safari.
- Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
- Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
- We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
- It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
- Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
