Informed Consent Templates

The templates and information below were created to help you create the documents you will need to communicate to potential study participants what they will do in the study. The documents you provide participants will range from recruitment materials to post-debrief consent forms. You need to submit everything that you provide to a potential study participant to our IRB for review.

For more information about the consent process, see Consent.
