Site Permission Forms
On-Campus Studies: Researchers must follow Teachers College’s visitor policy.
Off-Campus Studies: If the study is off-campus and site-dependent, complete the form entitled Off-Campus Access Requirements, to compare the hygiene and safety requirements of the off-campus site against TC's requirements.
Additionally, upload an unsigned site permission form including COVID-19 language. Signatures can be collected after the IRB protocol is approved.
If you have not recruited a site prior to applying to TC IRB, please upload only the unsigned site permission form. Once you have recruited a site, upload a modification with the completed Off-Campus Access Requirements and the signed site permission form.
- Researchers may not begin recruiting external sites until after they have received IRB approval. In some cases, studies are site-dependent. Researchers who have site-dependent studies can communicate with external sites about their potential research activities.
- All required documentation is available in Mentor IRB/Documentation.
- All studies conducted at an external site must submit a site permission template with the IRB protocol.
- In-person studies at off-campus sites should also submit the Off-Campus Access Requirements.
