Please Note: All protocols should be submitted through the eProtocol system. The forms above can be used as references for the content of the forms in the system.  You will still be using the information sheet and informed consent templates below. If you have an already approved protocol that was submitted using the older WORD forms or the fillable PDF forms and therefore have a paper file in our office, you may continue to use the paper forms below. ORS and the IRB will determine on a protocol per protocol basis which protocols should be converted to the eProtocol online format.
