Participant Outreach Flyer:

The IRB has created two educational flyers, the Participant Outreach Flyer (PDF) and Participant Rights Flyer (PDF), to inform research participants of their rights.

We encourage researchers to hang this flyer in their research labs, include it in course syllabi, or distribute it to participants whenever possible.
