IRB Sample Consent and Assent Forms

The documents below are samples to be adapted to individual research projects as needed. NIH recommends that the informed consent be written at an 8th grade level, so that all prospective participants will understand the elements of the research well enough to give truly "informed consent" to participate. Minor assents should be written in age-appropriate language; high school students should be able to understand the adult version.
