Any faculty who are ending employment with MCW and have acquired research data (generated data or materials) while working at MCW are required to complete the Research Data Offboarding Survey. The Survey allows the departing faculty member to both report on the plan for their data and/or request permission to retain any original data.

Faculty who are closing out labs and/or moving equipment should follow the guidance in the Lab Decommissioning Checklist. Contact Environmental Health & Safety for questions related to the laboratory space or physical lab materials.
