Answer line five if the IRB number has been assigned. Lines 6-8 must be answered. Delete all instructions in RED shown in this template.) Sponsor assigned number: Industry Contracts number: Grants number: Sponsor(s) name & address: IRB assigned number: Investigator(s) name & address: Site(s) where study is to be conducted: Phone number for subjects to call for questions: [After reading, remove this information section: Researchers are strongly encouraged to register any research that appears to meet the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) definition of a Clinical Trial at ClinicalTrials.gov or the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) definition of a Clinical Trial. If there is any question at all about whether or not a study should be registered, then it should probably be registered. ICMJE journals will consider trials only if registration occurred before the first subject was enrolled (“prospective registration”). The consequence of not registering, if a journal editor thinks the study should have been registered, is refusal by a journal to publish the work. See the document ICMJE Guidelines for Clinical Trial Registration for additional information.] Introduction and Background Information You/Your child (referred to as you in the rest of this document) are invited to take part in a research study because (tell why). The study is being conducted under the direction of (principal investigator/faculty member-list degree) and (Co-PI). Approximately _______ local subjects will be invited to participate. Your participation in this study will last for (give time in days, months, years, or hours). Purpose The purpose of this study is to (include a brief description in lay terms of the scientific purpose of the study. This description should be written so subjects reading at the middle school level can understand the terms.) Procedures Consent version date___________ Page 1 of 14 IRB # : TITLE OF RESEARCH STUDY This needs to be on the top of the second through last page of the consent. (As much as possible, describe in lay terms all study and screening procedures that may be required. Explain which procedures are standard of care and which are experimental (research). If the study involves multiple sessions, estimate the amount of time for each session. State whether hospitalization is required and where the subject will be hospitalized. If the study involves randomization, state that and explain that this process is similar to “flipping a coin”. If questionnaires are used (e.g., Quality of Life), state that the subjects may decline to answer any question that may make them uncomfortable, or, if applicable, which may render them prosecutable under law.) (OPTIONAL (remove entire sentence if not using:) See Appendix _____ (page _____) for the procedures table that gives a timeline of study visits and when study procedures will be done. Potential Risks There are (no-remove unless true) known physical risks linked with ________ (specify study drug(s), device, or procedure(s)). Studies in animals have shown that _______ (include only if there is little or no human risk data). In a tabular form (see table below) list probable and possible physical risks and frequency of occurrence (by percent of occurrence if known) and use a descriptive term such as Very Common (Greater than 10%), Common (Greater than 1% but less than 10%), Uncommon (Greater than 0.1% but less than 1%), Rare (Greater than 0.01% but less than 0.1%). Other terminology such as Frequent, Rare, Infrequent, Very Rare, etc., may be used but the terminology should be consistent with terminology used in the study protocol if different from the current table headings. Describe risks/adverse events in lay terms as much as possible, e.g. heart attack instead of acute coronary syndrome or ACS. Where known, show the frequency of occurrence expressed as a percent (%) for each risk/adverse event. State all medical terminology in lay wording. Remove this instruction. The following table details the known adverse events related to this research and how often they may occur. (Use this table format to report known adverse events; Select the header line you wish to use and delete the other line) Very Common Greater than 10% Common Greater than 1% but less than 10% Very Common Greater than 50% Common Likely Greater than 25% Greater than 10% but but less than 50% less than 25% (%) Uncommon Greater than 0.1% but less than 1% (%) (%) Consent version date___________ Page 2 of 14 Rare Greater than 0.01% but less than 0.1% Infrequent Greater than 1% but less than 10% (%) Very Rare Less than 0.01% Rare Less than 1 % (%) IRB # : TITLE OF RESEARCH STUDY This needs to be on the top of the second through last page of the consent. There may also be other procedures required as part of the study. The risks associated with these procedures are: [list procedures and related risks (e.g., Colonoscopy, described in lay terms) that are part of this study]. (If additional consents for procedures are required, state that the subject may need to sign more than one consent.) (If applicable, include risks of blood draws.) Other possible risks to you may include: (address: psychological, social, economic, and/or legal risks if they are a part of the research). In addition, you may suffer harms that we have not seen before. (If there are no risks to pregnant females or females of child bearing age, you do not need to include any of the following statements in the informed consent.) Possible Pregnancy Risks (If pregnant or nursing women are excluded from the study, include in the protocol and consent a statement supporting the rationale for not including pregnant women). (For studies that involve the use of drugs or procedures with risk(s) to the fetus in females of child bearing potential, choose the most appropriate of the following statements: a. There is evidence of potential for birth defects; or b. Animal studies have shown potential for birth defects and there are no human studies; or c. There are no known animal or human data on the potential for birth defects. You should discuss these risks with your doctor before signing this consent form. If you are pregnant or become pregnant, your unborn child may suffer harms that we have not seen before. If you become pregnant while in this study, the sponsor may ask to follow the outcome of the pregnancy. If you agree to allow the study doctor to follow your pregnancy, you will be asked to read and sign a separate consent form for permission to follow the outcome of your pregnancy for (specify length of time)[Pregnancy Consent template is available on the HSPPO website - remove]. If you are a man taking part in the study and your partner becomes pregnant, the study doctor may ask you to ask your partner for permission to follow her pregnancy. If she agrees, she will be asked to sign a separate consent form mentioned in the previous paragraph. Before starting this research study, females able to have children will have a pregnancy test. Talk to your doctor about the best method of birth control to use while you are in this study (tailor instruction to needs of the study). It is important that you tell (name of person to contact) at (phone number of person to contact) right away if you become pregnant or father a child during Consent version date___________ Page 3 of 14 IRB # : TITLE OF RESEARCH STUDY This needs to be on the top of the second through last page of the consent. the course of this study. <Choose one of the following and delete the other> If you or your partner becomes pregnant, a decision may have to be made whether or not to end the pregnancy. <OR> We do not know the effects of <study drug name> on an unborn baby. There is a risk that your unborn baby could be harmed if you become pregnant during your participation in the study. (If you ask, your study doctor will discuss the possible risks to your unborn child and your options should you become pregnant while in the study.) Research involving genetic information (Remove if the research does not involve genetic testing. If the research involves a separate consent form for genetic testing, include this paragraph in that consent form and remove from this consent) A new Federal law, called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), generally makes it illegal for health insurance companies, group health plans, and most employers to discriminate against you based on your genetic information. This law generally will protect you in the following ways: 1. Health insurance companies and group health plans may not request your genetic information that we get from this research or use your genetic information when making decisions regarding your eligibility or premiums. 2. Employers with 15 or more employees may not use your genetic information that we get from this research when making a decision to hire, promote, or fire you or when setting the terms of your employment. Employers with 15 or more employees, health insurance companies, and group health plans must follow this law. This new law does not protect you against genetic discrimination by companies that sell life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance. Benefits The possible benefits of this study include (list any possible benefits for the subject or for future patients. Don’t overstate the potential benefits). <or> The information collected may or may not benefit you directly; however, the information learned in this study may be helpful to others. Alternatives Instead of taking part in this study, you could choose to: [(list alternatives, including choosing not to participate as that is always an alternative.)(If same treatment is available without participating in the study state that the treatment is available without being a part of the study.)] Research Related Injury (Choose one of the following options.

The sponsor will pay for any necessary medical cost related to the treatment of your injury. (Add sentences if sponsor will pay for research related injury) To pay these medical expenses, the sponsor will need to know some information about you like your name, date of birth, and social security number. This is because the sponsor has to check to see if you receive Medicare and, if you do, report the payment it makes to Medicare. The sponsor will not use this information for any other purpose. If you are injured, there is no money set aside for lost wages, discomfort, disability, etc. You do not give up your legal rights by signing this form.
