Informed consent is the process by which potential participants are provided important information about the research study. Human subjects can only be involved in your study if they voluntarily agree to participate after having been adequately informed about the research. If the human subjects in your study are part of a vulnerable population (children, students, prisoners), special protections may also be required.
