Three Consent Form Examples

These consent documents were developed for various National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored research projects, including a genome-wide association study from the GENEVA consortium (part of the Genes, Environment and Health Initiative [gei.nih.gov]), the NHGRI Medical Sequencing Program, and the 1000 Genomes Project [1000genomes.org].

Although these consent forms were developed for specific research initiatives, they serve as examples of how the issues relevant to genomics research may be presented in the consent form.
