Whenever you are proposing research with human participants you must provide a form, known as an Informed Consent Form (ICF), with each proposal to indicate that the research participant has decided to take part in the research of her/his own free will.
This process documents the informed consent relationship that you have with research participants, and ensures that individuals are fully informed of the risks, benefits, and voluntariness of participating in your study.
Informed consent is an on-going process that starts with the researcher's first contact with the individual and continues until the study is complete or the participant withdraws.
