UW Research
*No Separate Key Information Consent Template (2,000 words or less)
Use this template for uncomplicated studies, studies with fewer procedures, minimal risks, and/or studies that require 2,000 words or less to explain. The UW IRB considers these shorter consent forms to be concise and focused enough that they don’t require a distinct Key Information section.
