Publication Pre-review by NC DHHS
- Publications include abstracts, websites, white papers, reports for external stakeholders, etc.
- Prior to publication, all materials must be reviewed and approved by the NC DHHS Division of Health Benefits (DHB). Materials should be submitted for review 45 calendar days prior to publication. DHB may ask follow-up questions or provide comments and feedback based on their review of the publication product. They may request a revised copy of your publication prior to granting approval.
- Revisions to the results (e.g., new data, variables, or strata; how the results are presented; etc.), methods, or interpretation require re-review by NC DHHS.
- Materials that are completely internal to Duke (e.g., departmental presentation exclusive to Duke faculty/staff/students) do not require prior review by the NC DHHS.
