After consultation with Research Legal and the UAMS IRB Chair, language about costs related to research participation have been updated in the IRB’s informed consent template. There has also been a minor-looking but important change in the HIPAA authorization form language about how data might leave the institution if an investigator leaves UAMS before a study ends.
The changes are summarized here and are incorporated into the templates available on our website. We ask that all new submissions incorporate this new language whenever applicable.
