    The widespread use of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in genetic research protocols creates a need for sequencing material that has been already collected, be it for similar or different purposes, in addition to increasing the need for sharing both material and the genetic generated data to enrich study results. Along with this comes the need to recontact participants for a variety of reasons where consent for unanticipated use and obtaining additional health information are only some examples. Following an earlier content analysis on a sample of Canadian Institutional Review Boards (IRB) consent form templates and accompanying guidelines, and IRB-approved consent forms, we developed an online survey addressing the opinions and experiences of Canadian IRB members on the use of NGS in research. We report herein the results pertaining to secondary use, sharing of material .. View More»
