CONTRACT's electronic survey
CONTRACT's electronic survey is still open and accessible under the following link:
The questionnaire will analyse the current situation concerning the legal, ethical, technical and clinical handling of consent, mainly in European projects dealing with vulnerable patient groups. The purpose is to identify existing practices and problems encountered in translational research throughout Europe.
By participating in this survey you will help us to advise translational research projects in all issues of informed consent and to deliver concrete policy recommendations as to how the European Union could jointly protect patient’s rights and support translational research by a better structured approach towards consent issues.
Current results from the survey are now available through Deliverable D2.2.
The survey is addressed to:
- Clinicians / Care providers
- Chairpersons of research projects / trials
- Researchers / Molecular biologists
- Computer Scientists
- Legal Experts / Ethicists
- Data Manager / Statisticians
- European Policymakers
Duration:
- Less than 30 minutes

The Project
The CONTRACT project is a two-year support action (2010-2012) funded under the Health theme of the EU’s Framework Programme 7. CONTRACT seeks to establish methods to understand the way the European Data Protection Directive and the Clinical Trials Directive have had and continue to have an impact on the success of translational research. The project will focus on informed consent as a fundamental precondition for the legal processing of personal data and for carrying out a legally admissible trial. CONTRACT will support the European Commission to achieve a “clear community framework [in order] to support dynamic and sustainable health systems by providing clarity regarding application of EC law to health services and support Member States in areas where coordinated action can bring added value to health systems.” The project will do so by delivering a survey showing how ongoing and upcoming European and national translational projects deal differently with consent issues, defining good practices, giving policy recommendations and offering a help desk for partner projects on consent issues. For more information on the CONTRACT project, see the overview and the project's objectives. |
The CONTRACT support action has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement nο. 261412.
