Participants’ samples, data security and protection
The rights of participants must be considered throughout the process of collecting, preparing, sequencing and analysing samples. Participants have a right to confidentiality and privacy and appropriate systems must be in place to protect these rights.
For more information see – Making yourself data capable or the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research [1].
Have you thought about?
- How will the participants’ biological samples, metadata and genomic data be stored, managed and kept secure?
- Will the samples be stored, distributed or destroyed after the study?
