In November 2015, CTTI released official recommendations for a new model of informed consent that places the focus back where it should be: the participant. This innovative approach to informed consent emphasizes the process, which should be an interactive, ongoing conversation between the participant and the research investigator or staff. Several tools are included within the recommendations, which were developed to assist researchers (at the site and sponsor) in implementing this strategy.

Today, two colleagues involved in CTTI’s Informed Consent Project, Michele Kennett and Ross McKinney, will present these recommendations at the 2016 Annual AAHRPP Conference. If you are attending this event, we invite you to attend this session and learn more about the project:
