Informed consent resource updated

Informed consent is the basic and primary tool through which investigators communicate with each potential study participant to ensure that the research purpose, risks, or other implications of participation are understood. NHGRI's online Informed Consent Resource (ICR) has helped thousands of researchers navigate the informed consent process since 2009. Now, the ICR has been updated to keep pace with advances in genomics over the past several years.
