University of florida standard informed consent statement template

Informed Consent Form Templates : Investigators are required to use the latest versions of the Informed Consent Form Templates, which have been updated to comply with the 2019 Revised Common Rule changes.

Posting of Consent Forms for Clinical Trials : For each federally funded clinical trial, one IRB-approved informed consent form used to enroll subjects must be posted to ClinicalTrials.gov or to a docket folder on Regulations.gov (docket ID: HHS-OPHS-2018-0021). The informed consent form must be posted after the clinical trial is closed to recruitment, and no later than 60 days after the last study visit by any subject, as required by the protocol. View further guidance.

Investigators are required to use the FIU Informed Consent templates provided below to ensure compliance with the Informed Consent Requirements. In some circumstances, researchers may still be permitted to use an external Informed Consent form when the research is conducted off-site in collaboration with another institution’s IRB. Such situations are handled by the IRB on a case-by-case basis.

Investigators that will be conducting research involving protected health information (PHI) are required to use the HIPAA Authorization templates.

The templates are revised frequently, so please visit this page prior to submitting any protocols to verify that you are using the latest template. The first page of each form provides guidelines on completing the Informed Consent templates. Remember that your research population and proposed research may require special considerations.
