COVID-19: 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.
