Research Data Management (RDM)

Consent

If you plan to make your data openly available or to reuse/repurpose your data, you need to obtain consent from your study participants. This process involves two parts:

1. An information sheet that includes information about collecting and safeguarding the data including information about storage and reuse.

2. A consent form that explicitly asks participant if they agree to archiving, reuse and sharing of the data.

Sample consent language:

“By participating in this research I hereby give consent for my *de-identified* information to be used for research purposes beyond this immediate project.”
