Instructions for Exempt Level Consenting Process

A Study Information Sheet may be used with most types of projects in the exempt level of review. A signed Informed Consent Statement will be required in some instances (e.g., when children are involved or when retaining / storing recorded interviews indefinitely), and may be substituted for the Study Information Sheet if the researcher wishes proof of participation. INSTRUCTIONS for preparation of these documents are available. SAMPLES of different types of these documents are available.
