| 8:30 a.m. | Welcome Frank Loy, LL.B. Roundtable Chair |
| 8:40 a.m. | Workshop Overview Lynn Goldman, M.D., M.P.H. Roundtable Vice-Chair Dean, Milken Institute School of Public Health George Washington University |
| 8:50 a.m. | Session 1: Brief History and Current Legal and Executive Branch Framework for Data Sharing |
| Objectives: | Federal rule making routinely involves the use of studies in which there are questions raised about how they were prepared and the reliability of the data and the conclusions drawn. Through the Administrative Procedure Act and the process of judicial review, there is now a reasonably well-developed understanding of how agencies handle those problems and what information must be made available to the public, to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of the Office of Management and Budget, and to the courts (if judicial review is sought as it is for most significant rules). |

| 9:30 a.m. | Discussion (20 minutes) |
| 9:50 a.m. | Session 2: Benefits and Importance of Data Sharing |
| Objectives: | Most researchers and policy makers in environmental health agree that, as in other fields, research data should be shared as freely as necessary, especially when research data are underpinning regulations. Most also recognize that there need to be some limits on when and how data should be shared. The goal of this session is to clarify when, why, and how data sharing is beneficial for the researcher, the regulatory agency, the participants, and the public. The session should distinguish between sharing data for reanalysis and sharing data for facilitation of replication. |

| 11:20 a.m. | Session 3: Challenges Associated with Data Sharing |
| Objectives: | While data sharing is quickly becoming the norm, especially for federally funded research, challenges exist for the investigator and her or his institution, the person or entity requesting the data, and the research participants, whose identity can be compromised. Concerns of the investigator are ensuring the right to publication and to quality control over reanalyses. |
