The InFORMed Project template has been developed to support a participant-centred, simplified, national PICF.

Our aim is to improve the efficiency and impact of health and medical research in Australia by making it easier for consumers to make decisions about participation.

Learn how the InFORMed PICF Template simplifies consent forms, making them clearer and more participant-centred for health and medical research in Australia.
