Introduction
…The following resource… outlines suggested points to consider when addressing data and biospecimen storage and sharing for future use in consent language and provides supplemental sample language that could be modified as needed when developing informed consent documents. Of note, the sample language provided below is designed to be incorporated into a primary research consent document. The use of the sample language by itself does not address federal, state, local, tribal, or international requirements that may apply to the primary research. Furthermore, this resource is designed for research consent documents; it does not address the storage and sharing of data and biospecimens initially collected for clinical purposes. Use of the information provided in this resource, including sample language, is completely voluntary.
