This procedure provides a framework for preparing, reviewing, and storing model inputs and derived data so that individuals with authorized access to the Verified, Archived, Library of Inputs and Data (VALID) repository can use the inputs and data with confidence in their analyses. This procedure uses documented checks and reviews to ensure that the inputs and data were correctly generated using appropriate references. Configuration management is implemented to prevent inadvertent modification of the inputs and data or inclusion of models that have not been reviewed. This procedure also provides guidance to be followed if errors are identified or if input or data revisions are needed.
