In relation to a study that is applied to REK, the applicant may want to use biological samples and/or personal health data for other and/or future use that go beyond the objectives of the applied study (broad consent). A separate informed consent form (ICF) for this purpose must then be submitted, please use the template available at rekportalen.no. If samples are to be included in a general biobank in Norway, the REK-approved consent for the general biobank is to be submitted.
Providing a broad consent cannot be a prerequisite for participation in the applied study.
