Important Policies All Investigators Should Read
Below are some frequently used templates/forms that may be included with you ERA submission.
Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) Forms
External Researcher Forms
Generally, if an Investigator is external to Temple (i.e., they are not affiliated with Temple University, Temple University Health System, or Fox Chase Cancer Center), their home institution's IRB will need to cover that individual conducting human subjects research activities (i.e., consenting, interacting, or intervening with subjects or handling identifiable data).
However, there are rare circumstances where that is not the case (e.g., a student visiting a lab during summer, and is not getting course credit from their home institution; or an Investigator is not affiliated with another institution that has an IRB).
There are two forms for adding Investigators who are external to Temple. Choosing which one is dependent on the circumstance. Given this, it's likely best to contact the IRB (IRB@temple.edu or 215-707-7792) for navigating situations involving external investigators.
- Research Personnel Signature Form (generally only acceptable for the visiting student example described above)
- Individual Investigator Agreement (generally acceptable for investigators who are not affiliated with an institution that has an IRB)
