  • Current Research Purpose: The IC should clearly explain the primary purpose for which the health data is being collected (e.g., a specific clinical study, disease research, or a longitudinal health survey). 

  • Potential Future Use: To align with the FAIR principles, the IC should also mention the possibility that the data may be used for future research purposes, which may not yet be fully known at the time of data collection. However, the scope of future research should be described as broadly but as clearly as possible, respecting GDPR’s transparency principle. 

  • FAIR Data Goals: The IC should include a statement that aligns with the goals of FAIR data, explaining that the data will be made findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable by other researchers and stakeholders in the scientific community. 

  • Data Registries or Repositories: If applicable, the IC should state that the data will be deposited into data repositories or registries that adhere to FAIR principles, allowing it to be discoverable and reusable by others. 

  • Who Will Access the Data: Provide clarity on who will be allowed to access the data. This includes mentioning both internal and external researchers and potential data-sharing partnerships. 

  • Controlled vs. Open Access: Explain whether the data will be made available via open access (where anyone can access the data) or via controlled access (where only approved researchers or organizations can access it). 

  • Cross-border Data Transfers: If the data may be shared internationally, the IC must comply with GDPR’s rules on cross-border data transfers. Explain if the data will be shared with researchers outside the EU and what safeguards are in place to protect the data in international transfers. 

How to 

As explained, informed consent (IC) is an essential component for collecting and reusing data. In this How to, guidance is provided to help you create an IC and PIF that are compatible with the FAIR principles. While this guidance aims to provide up-to-date and accurate information, always check with your local privacy and legal specialists!
