     <string name="overviewConsentSectionSummaryText">You have been invited to participate in this study whose objectives are (1) to develop and demonstrate the utility of a mobile application (TANIA) to collect perception data of students participating in research experiences and (2) to use TANIA to determine the sources of self-efficacy that lead to career exploration and decision-making in undergraduate students.</string>
     <string name="overviewConsentSectionContentText">This study is been carried out under the supervision of Dr. Juan S. Ramírez Lugo, Department of Biology and Dr. Carlos Corrada Bravo, Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. You were selected to participate in this study because you are enrolled in a course that offers a research experience or you voluntarily participate in research with a professor affiliated to the Río Piedras Campus.</string>

     <string name="timeCommitmentConsentSectionContentText">You are also expected to respond to short questionnaires between 1-3 times per week while you are participating in the research. You will receive notifications at random times during your research experience and answer questions adapted from survey instruments that have been previously validated. It will take you between 1-3 minutes to answer these questionnaires. It is expected that 25 students will participate in this phase of the study.</string>
     <string name="timeCommitmentConsentSectionSummaryText">In the study you will be asked to answer a questionnaire, about your perception of self-efficacy in research, scientific identity and decision-making about your professional career at the beginning and end of your research experience. It will take you between 10-20 minutes to answer this questionnaire.</string>

     <string name="dataGatheringConsentSectionSummaryText">While answering the questions, you may feel uncomfortable because the questions are about your general opinion about science and research and your career.

It is estimated that the application will have a size of 40 Mb (As reference the WhatsApp application is 88.9 Mb). Although at the moment we cannot say exactly how much memory or data you will consume, we understand that both will be minimal. The risks of this study are minimal.</string>

These access credentials will be encrypted and any subsequent association between you and your data will be made by reference to the encrypted information, not your personal identity.
