IRB Revised Guidance for Subject Recruitment Materials

Recruitment materials (flyers, posters, ads) for minimal risk studies may now specify the incentive amount, a change in practice recently approved by the LLUH IRB. If investigators choose to include this information, they should also specify the funding source. The IRB recognizes that the typical amounts of $5-25 for such studies is not likely to be coercive and are designed to help in the recruitment process.
