Principles are people and purpose-oriented and reflect the role of data in advancing indigenous innovation and self-determination. CARE stands for
- Collective benefit
- Authority to control
- Responsibility
- Ethics
CARE principles are meant to complement FAIR principles by encouraging the centering of both people and purpose in the sharing of research data. The CARE principles, developed by the Global Indigenous Data Alliance, facilitat the consideration of collective benefit, authority of control, responsibility and ethics in working with research data.
