What is a research participation consent form?

A research participation consent form documents a participant's informed agreement to take part in a study, covering what the research involves, how their data will be used, and their rights as a participant.

Instead of relying on a printed form to be signed and filed manually, researchers record and store every consent the moment a participant submits it.

Customize this template to match your study's needs, then share it as a QR code to message to respondents, at the study site, or in a pre-participation email.

Responses are then organized in your account dashboard, so you have a clear, timestamped consent record for each participant.

Use this research participation consent template, or build your own academic form from scratch with TIGER FORM's AI form builder.
