Update participant-agreement.md

Open kmori opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Updating the language in the participant agreement to match our current Google Doc template language for research with compensation and without compensation.

For more context on how/why these updates were made- @jstrothman & @kmori made edits to the participant agreement with the goals to:

  • Increase plain language
  • Reduce power imbalance of language in previous consent form
  • Explain how information will be used
  • Ask for consent on a more granular basis & explain opportunities to change your mind about consent
  • Create a working document for more frequent iteration

We also went through a review process with OGC, Privacy, and the TTS Research Guild:

  • 7/26/2022: OGC reviewed and approved updated language
  • 7/26/2022: CPO confirmed it’s acceptable to link to the Privacy Act statement rather than include in full.
  • 8/05/2022: Reviewed the new consent form with the Research Guild and made changes based on comments and feedback
  • 9/20/2022: OGC provided guidance that the agreements would need to be signed with either a wet signature or GSA’s DSS (DocuSign)

These changes were initially made in our internal Google Docs and this pull request is to publish those changes in a publicly accessible setting.
