MODEL AGREEMENT FOR SHARING THE DATA AND BENEFITS OF PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEILLANCE [Introductory Annotation: This document provides guidance for creating a formal arrangement for sharing of public health surveillance data and benefits. A written document describing data sharing activities provides clarity and precision about the activities and the responsibilities of those sharing. However, this Model Agreement and its annexes of necessity cover a wide range of issues, not all of which will be relevant to every data sharing activity. Parties should therefore consider and agree those that are relevant to their particular context and exclude those that are not. This document can be used in various ways, ranging from indicating a checklist of important issues to providing the basis for the text of a data and benefit sharing agreement. Its primary purpose is to guide those planning data sharing activities in discussing and recording what such activities will entail and how the activities will be implemented. The Model Agreement is not a legal requirement, and, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) is not prescribing its use in data
