HIPAA Requirements

 In order to be fully compliant with HIPAA, and if your study includes the use of a consent form(s), you are also required to present the participants with a HIPAA Research Authorization Form.

To access the HIPAA Research Authorization form, see the Research Authorization Instructions at: http://compliance.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/guidance/privacy/resauth.html and select the “Click here” link. Alternatively, the actual link to the form is at:  http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/compliance/pdf/resauth.doc.

Note: the IRB does not require submission of the Research Authorization Form with your IRB protocol application form, as this form is required by the UC Davis Health System Compliance Office.
