Before creating your consent documents, read the guidance section on the Informed Consent process.

To ensure all required informed consent elements are present, we encourage researchers to use these sample templates. However, you may edit the templates or submit an alternate consent form to meet the needs of your particular research study.

• IRB Informed Consent Sample Template
• IRB Minor Assent Sample Template
• IRB Parental/Guardian Permission Sample Template
• Online or MTurk Survey Consent Sample Template
• Student Informed Consent (for faculty researchers' pedagogical studies in the classroom)

When you have an individual other than the researcher involved in data collection, you need to ensure they know their responsibilities to keep all participants' responses confidential. You should include a version of these templates with your protocol submission and then obtain a signed copy from the translator/interpreter for your protocol files.

• Transcriptionist Sample Confidentiality Agreement
