Human Subjects Research Forms

Forms, Consent Templates, & Recruitment Materials

The forms, templates, and recruitment information on this page will help you prepare your protocol and submit your research study to UTPB's IRB for review.    

Application Forms   

UTPB Human Research Protocol  

For projects involving and interactions with human subjects.    

Previously Collected Data/Specimens Protocol 

Use this document instead of the Human Research Protocol when you are only requesting approval for retrospective data analysis.    

Modifications Request Form 

When you need to make changes to a study that has already been approved.    

Consent Templates

Signed Informed Consent  

Use this form when participants will sign their name to verify consent for a project and investigators provide a copy of the consent form to participants.    

Parent/Guardian Consent 

Use this form when participants cannot legally sign consent themselves (e.g., research involving children or individuals with cognitive impairments).  

Assent Templates 

For use with children or other participants for whom the ability to give informed consent may be otherwise compromised. Make sure to include a prototype script of this procedure with the IRB application.
