Consent Forms

In keeping with OHRP policy, all IRB approved consent forms will need to be stamped on each page with an approval date stamp provided by this office.  IRB policy requires that the approved version of your consent form document be stamped first and then reproduced with said stamp validating the existing approval dates for that particular protocol. Any consent form distributed without this stamp will be considered a noncompliant document. Also, the IRB Office will keep the original stamped form on file so anyone may obtain a paper or electronic copy upon request.

We are happy to be able to offer three guides for creating consent forms. Two have been generously provided by current Clinical Psychology doctoral students Pete Vernig and Jonathan Lee. The third is the National Cancer Institute’s Templates for Informed Consent documents.  When creating the consent form, please leave a margin of at least one and a half inches along the top or bottom of each page of the consent form to accommodate the IRB approval stamp.
