COVID-19: USD will require face coverings this spring Campus Updates and Information

Informed Consents

USD consent templates contain the required regulatory elements, IRB contact information and guided wording for various study elements. Studies that do not require a signature on the consent form may use either the "Consent Statement Template" or the "Cover Letter Template." Research with children or cognitively impaired subjects should include both a parental consent form and an assent form.

Please submit Word versions of consent forms. No PDFs.
