About
Introduction
The Coordinated Access for Data, Researchers and Environments (CADRE) project establishes a shared and distributed sensitive data access management platform for the social sciences and related disciplines. This platform implements the Five Safes Framework in Australian research institutions and collaborating government agencies.

The CADRE project received investment (https://doi.org/10.47486/PL106) from the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC). The ARDC is funded by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
Setting Up Organisations
Organisations will be required to sign a Service Level Agreement ("SLA") with the Australian Data Archive.
Please contact the CADRE team at admin@cadre.ada.edu.au or the ADA team at ada@ada.edu.au for details on how to get started.
Project Outcomes
There are five project outcomes:
- Shared conceptual framework - efficiently and reliably connecting the elements of the Five Safes - People, Projects, Data, Settings and Outputs within a framework.
- Information exchange protocols - exchanging identifier and accreditation information between data users, providers and trusted access facilities - based on the AAF identity provision model
- Integrated data access management platform - managing data access requests from researchers and data supply from providers
- Pilot and production platform integrations - ensuring that four secure data access settings can interoperate:
- Training and engagement - enabling CADRE platform users and the wider research community - to raise awareness and capacity to use the platform.
Work Packages
Five work packages (WP1-WP4, WP6) enable project partners to translate the Five Safes model and develop policy and technical requirements that inform platform development (in three phases). Two corollary work packages run across the project timeline (and all three phases).
| Work Package | Description | Lead | Phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| WP0 | Project Management | ANU | All |
| WP1 | Shared Conceptual Framework | ANU | Conceptualisation |
| WP2 | Information Exchange Protocols | SWIN | Conceptualisation |
| WP3 | Platform: Access Management | AAF | Development |
| WP4 | Platform: Pilot Phase | ANU | Development |
| WP5 | Community: Training and Engagement | ANU | All |
| WP6 | Platform: Operations | ANU | Development |
