Do I have to use copies of the stamped consent documents (e.g., consent forms, assent forms, recruitment ads) to recruit/enroll subjects?
Yes, all consent and assent documents as well as posted advertisements need to include the IRB approval stamp. In some cases involving minimal risk research, the IRB may waive the consent requirements. Requests for waiver of consent must be made in writing and include a justification. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
