When developing or submitting your proposal, please consider use of the following templates. These documents serve as a guide and are not required. However, please note the content to be certain that you have addressed all required elements. The Investigator Manual should be referenced throughout the development and conduct of your research activity. The protocol templates provide a basis for protocol development and should provide guidance as you address all essential elements. When creating the informed consent form, consider the provided templates and note the available sample signature blocks. Based upon the characteristics of your subject population, you may need to consider use of an alternative signature page and these templates will provide the necessary language and capture the appropriate signatures.
If you are not conducting a research study, but have prepared a case report, please refer to the case study submission form and related guidance. Although a single case report does not require IRB oversight, it must be reviewed for compliance with HIPAA guidelines and thus is reviewed by the IRB acting as the Metro Health Privacy Board.
When you complete your research, case report or other scholarly activity and are interested in presenting your results, refer to the poster templates that have been provided. These will assist in the development and formatting of your poster.
If you should have questions regarding these templates and tools refer to the Investigator Manual or please contact the Metro Health IRB at 252-5026.
