You must make the request by February 16, 2024.

Human Subjects

If your project involves human participants EVERY participant must consent. Use these forms:
Editable consent form [2] – fill in the editable boxes in the PDF then print the form for signature.
Blank consent form [3] – boxes must be filled in on a printed version and signed.
Example form [4] – a filled human consent example form to show what is expected.
