The template provides standardized instructions on clear, straightforward wording, second-person phrasing in all sections except Consent, and required layout elements such as headers, footers with page numbers, and participant initials for multi-page forms. It includes fill-in sections covering study title, principal investigator details, purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, confidentiality options, compensation, contact information, voluntary participation, and a dedicated Consent section.","Note to Investigators: \u000b\u000bWhen creating informed consent letters, investigators are encouraged to keep language and vocabulary as basic and straightforward as possible. Investigators are also encouraged to use this template when creating informed consent letters. Use of alternative wording or format is permitted, but doing so may slow down the review process. All sections of the consent form, except the \"Consent\" section, should be written in second person (\"You are invited...\").\nHeaders should include “Informed Consent” followed by the title of the study (e.g., the header in this document). Footers should include page numbers. If your consent letter is more than one page, the footer should also include a space for the participant’s initials (e.g., the footer in this document).\nBe sure to include any basic components of informed consent that are appropriate to your study. If components apply to your study, they must be included. Please refer to the document entitled “components of informed consent” for more information. If you have any further questions, contact the Director of Institutional Research at (865) 354-3000, ext. 4822.\n**Information in italics is for your information and should be deleted from the actual consent form.
