The PI and research staff is required to use the currently approved, stamped consent document when enrolling research subjects unless a documented exception has been granted by the IRB.
Only the current, approved Consent Document may be used for documenting informed consent. Documenting consent on a Consent Document on or after the expiration date stamped on that document is not permitted and may not constitute valid consent. With each Continuing Review, the investigator receives newly stamped versions with the approval notification. Even if the content is identical, the research team is expected to use the current, stamped version of all stamped materials.
