Since the IRB now works largely remotely, we are changing the recommended IRB contact information to be added to consent forms. Instead of suggesting people call the IRB office during normal business hours, please add the below language to consent materials. The consent template on the UAMS website is also updated to include this language.
You can also call the UAMS office that supervises research if you cannot reach the study team, have questions about your rights as a research participant, or want to speak to someone not directly involved with the study. To do so, call the UAMS Institutional Review Board at 501-686-5667 and leave a message that will be returned during normal business hours.
