Since there is no
longer an expiration date on the approved consent forms, there is no
need to submit a clean version of the consent for a new stamp.
If
you find that there are consent revisions necessary at the time of
continuing review, an amendment must be submitted.
No participant should ever be
given a consent document that does not include the current stamp of IRB approval.
After
continuing review approval the designated Primary Contact for the study
will receive a continuing review Assurance only. The currently
approved consent can continue to be used.
