WE AGREE WITH FORSBERG AND COLLEAGUES that re-consent for new uses of research samples is not always necessary (or even possible) and that respectful engagement goes well beyond consent procedures. As we noted in our Policy Forum and previous work {1, 2), one of the most important findings of studies on participants' views is that many have a positive ongoing interest in the research process. Developing better ways to inform participants about research, and to elicit their input and support, will benefit scientists and participants alike.
