Updated Consent Form Templates

April 29, 2025 v2 (correction)

University of California Office of the President (UCOP) has updated the human subject injury language on the consent form. Injury language is required when a participant may experience injury or illness as a direct result of participation in human subject research.

The UCI consent form templates have been updated to incorporate the revised injury language.

Effective immediately new protocol submissions must use the revised injury language.
Currently approved consent forms must be updated to include the revised subject injury language at the next protocol transaction (ie. renewal or amendment). Reconsent will not be required.
Consent templates for when UCI is the relying IRB will be posted on the IRB forms page as they become available.
