Question

which of the following is most likely to own the data resulting from a research project? a technician who collected the data. the organization that receives federal funding for a project. a graduate student working under the direction of a faculty member. a faculty member working on a federally-funded project.

Answer 1

Answer: The organization that receives federal funding will own the data from the research project.

Explanation:

The research done by federally funding would be usually done for the government by an organization. So the ownership of the data will be solely belong to the organization. They are responsible for collecting, storing, analyzing and sharing the data. Some personal data should be masked and should not be available for the public. So all the responsibilities of handling the data will befall upon the organization and they must work according to the government protocols. A technician or an employee or a student will never get the ownership of the data.
