Within the IRB submission, the research team is asked to describe, in detail, how subjects will be recruited. Some more common recruitment methods include emails, flyers, classroom announcements, and social media posts.
If the PI is recruiting from a private business, office, school, or organization,
the PI must provide a consent letter from a person in a position of authority from
all locations.
The PI must provide all recruitment materials for review. Recruitment material should include several details about the research study. When possible, please utilize IRB Forms and Templates when creating recruitment materials. The recruitment materials should not include any coercive language, amount of payment, dollar signs, or the words “free” in large or bold face type, bolded, underlined, or italicized compensation intended to draw attention.
