New advances in digital technologies and data-collection methods support expansion of the traditional research model in the current Digital Age. As researchers continue to explore ways to collect, manage, and share individual-level research study data, investigators must also acknowledge new ethical considerations that arise. To ensure protection of research participants, participants must remain a priority across the research continuum by researchers, institutional review boards, funding agencies, and consumers. Big data and data sharing also require additional investments and oversight to ensure proper management and, and even more important, protection of human subjects.
