  • Plain Language Informed Consent Form Template (for Research): This template is a health-literate research consent template that complies with the Common Rule. Our research has shown that our template has improved the overall readability level of nearly all of the IRB-approved, investigator-initiated consent forms at UAMS.
  • Plain Language HIPAA Research Authorization: This new template improves the readability of the HIPAA authorization template researchers use to seek permission to collect, create, and share personal health information from study participants. This form reads just under a grade 7 reading level.
