Research Forms

Permission From Study/Recruitment Sites(s) Outside TAMUCT

Please submit written permission from your proposed study site with your IRB or IBC protocol application and supplemental materials. Permission from the site does not need to be in a specific format, other than written (i.e. letter, email, etc.).

At minimum, the permission letter MUST include:

• Statement that permission is granted to conduct {title of study} to {name of the PI} and
• Name and title of individual providing permission

Difficulty Downloading Forms?

Please use either Internet Explorer or Safari to download the IRB protocol forms. When downloading these forms using Firefox and Chrome, please “right click” to save the document to your computer first, and then open the form from the saved location.

Some researchers have reported difficulty downloading forms. Two Web browsers – Firefox and Chrome – will not open fillable PDF forms within a browser window.

The various workarounds to this issue include:

• Use Internet Explorer or Safari. Both of these browsers appear to fully support fillable PDF forms.
• Right-click (PC) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on the link that opens the PDF form and save the form to your desktop.
• Adjust your Firefox or Chrome settings to open PDF documents in Adobe rather than in the Web browser.
