Office of Human Subjects Research

HHRI has added the short form as an option to the consent process.  The short form consent is an alternative to using a translated consent form.  The short form consent is a brief, standard document, translated into the subject's preferred language.  The short form contains a description of the required elements of informed consent.  The short form notes that these elements, as they pertain to the specific study and are contained in the full English-language informed consent form, will be presented orally to the subject or legally authorized representative.

For more details on the required process for using the short form, please see the following links:
