Documentation Consent Process Form and Log

Informed consent is a process and involves providing a potential subject with adequate information about the research to allow for an informed decision about the subject’s voluntary participation in a research study. Informed consent is a process. Documenting informed consent occurs after explaining the research, addressing any questions, and assessing participant comprehension.

  • Documentation of informed consent requires the signature of informed consent by the research participant (or their legally authorized representative or parent(s), as applicable) unless a waiver of that signature has been approved by the IRB.
  • The forms here are two different suggested templates that can be used so that the person obtaining consent notates the following: current and IRB-approved informed consent forms were used, that he/she explained the research to the participant, ensured that the participant understood the research and that the participant freely agreed to enroll.
  • These forms should be utilized at the beginning of the study and throughout the study, when updates and revisions to the consent form(s) require re-consent.
  • The templates herein provide a framework for documenting the consent discussion and process with each potential study participant and should be customized to different studies as applicable.
  • Modify the form as needed/desired to add or remove any additional consent information, such as:
    • If a legally authorized representative is present
    • Information related to signatures as applicable

IRBNet New User Registration

The University of Delaware uses the IRBNet system to manage its IRB Protocols with research concerning human subjects. If you are not already registered with IRBNet, it is necessary that you do so in order to produce the documentation that will be reviewed by the University of Delaware’s IRB. After review, the IRB office will communicate with the principal investigator and request any clarifications or edits that need to be completed before approval can be issued.

Once a review has been completed, decision letters are uploaded in IRBNet and are always accessible to the investigator(s). Informed consent documents from projects approved via an expedited or full board review will be stamped with the IRB approval and expiration date and also uploaded in IRBNet. Informed consent must be obtained using the stamped version of the approved documents, (i.e., participants signatures need to be collected in a copy of the stamped informed consent.) No IRB stamp is added to informed consent documents associated to projects deemed exempt.
