Update Your Biobank Consent
May 29, 2021
We are offering participants who joined the Biobank before October 2019 the opportunity to update their study consent. Why? The updated consent form has new information about:
- The purpose of the Biobank research study
- Your rights as a participant
- The types of people, institutions and companies we may partner with and share data
- The possibility of some results returned from the Biobank if they become available
How do I update my consent?
If you are eligible to update your consent form, the new consent will be available on your MHC portal. Go to Menu, scroll down to Resources, and then click on Research Opportunities.
From here, you can view the consent form and choose to Accept, Decline or Skip for later.
If you are using the UCHealth phone app, go to the Menu bars on top right, click on Tools, and then click on Research Opportunities.
You do not have to update your consent form to continue to participate in the Biobank. If you choose to Decline the consent, you are still be enrolled in the Biobank. If you wish to withdraw from the Biobank, please submit a request form online.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by phone at 303-724-9944 or email: ccpm-biobank@ucdenver.edu.
