    Informed consent, whether for health or behavioral research or clinical treatment, rests on notions of voluntarism, information disclosure and understanding, and the decisionmaking capacity of the person providing consent. Whether consent is for research or treatment, informed consent serves as a safeguard for trust that permissions given by the research participant or patient are upheld across the informed consent (IC) lifecycle. The IC lifecycle involves not only documentation of the consent when originally obtained, but actions that require clear communication of permissions from the initial acquisition of data and specimens through handoffs to, for example, secondary researchers, allowing them access to data or biospecimens referenced in the terms of the original consent.
