The WVU OHRP has developed and released new eConsent templates for REDCap. The eConsent templates have been updated to remove the permission to use email language, are separated by use type (remote or in-person), and include updated descriptions to allow study teams to more readily identify which template is most appropriate for their study.

The electronic informed consent worksheet, required for all expedited and full board protocols, as well as exempt, NHSR, and flex submissions with PHI has been updated and consolidated. There is now one worksheet option, regardless of protocol type. Please visit the WVU OHRP Forms page to download the most up-to-date version of the document. For questions or concerns, please email IRB@mail.wvu.edu.
