Downloads for IRB submission
Performing human subject research or requesting the use of a humanitarian use device (HUD) or expanded access of an investigational agent requires you to submit certain forms for institutional review board (IRB) review. This website provides a repository for all forms maintained by Aurora Health Care’s Research Subject Protection Program (RSPP).
You’ll find forms and templates for:
- General use: Forms for most IRB submissions are on the forms page.
- Informed consent: Find templates to obtain informed consent for research on human subjects.
- Ceded research: A ceded review means research oversight is deferred to an external IRB. Download IRB forms and standard operating procedures for ceded research.
- Humanitarian use devices: Using a humanitarian use device (per approved indication) to treat a patient on a non-research, non-emergency basis requires an application for humanitarian use.
- Expanded access: Requesting approval to provide an investigational agent outside of clinical trials requires approval from our IRB and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Find forms for compassionate use.
- Emergency use: Doctors may provide an investigational agent to patients in an emergency situation. After emergency use, you must report to our IRB within five days.
