Way To Health specific documents & templates for IRB submission
All research studies need to submit documentation around the appropriate policies and procedures implemented to protect
the rights and welfare of humans participating as subjects in the research. To accomplish this, IRBs use a group process
to review research protocols and related materials (e.g., informed consent documents and investigator brochures) to
ensure protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects of research. For research studies using the Way To Health
platform, we have prepared a set of documents and templates to accompany the submission.
Template Documents
Variants of these documents have been reviewed and approved by the University of Pennsylvania's Institutional Review
