What are the requirements concerning informed consent?
Informed consent is one of the cornerstones of the ethical treatment of subjects in research. For expedited and full review application, obtaining informed consent is almost always required. The consent guidelines contain a complete checklist of everything that needs to be included in an informed consent letter. Signed informed consent forms should be kept in such a way as to maintain confidentiality.
In some cases, researchers can waive the informed consent requirement. The circumstances under which this requirement can be waived are also found on the consent guidelines form. Note that justification must be provided for waiving consent.
