Forms-H changes

NIH

NIH has developed protocol templates for clinical trials, including one for Phase 2 & 3 IND/IDE trials and another for Behavioral and Social Science Research (BSSR) in humans. The templates are available as Word docs or can be used through an e-protocol tool. For more information and links: https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/protocol-template.htm

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, an NIH center, has a protocol template for studies they fund (typically non-pharmacologic): https://nccih.nih.gov/sites/nccam.nih.gov/files/CR-Toolbox/ProtocolTemplate_NCCIH_07-17-2015.docx

In addition, they have a toolkit with links to many other templates relevant to clinical research funded by NIH, such as: case report forms (CRFs), data and safety monitoring, regulatory/essential documents: https://nccih.nih.gov/grants/toolbox

NIH forms table has instructions for, and sometimes templates and samples of, various documents required by NIH (e.g., biosketches): https://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms/all-forms-and-formats.htm

UF

The UF Office of Research has UF-specific forms and templates: http://research.ufl.edu/faculty-and-staff/forms.html
