Adding Data Visitation Language to an IRB protocol

Adding Data Visitation (DV) language to an IRB protocol requires placing the description within the sections that address data handling, privacy protections, security, and external data access. Although IRB protocol templates vary across institutions (e.g., HRP-503 for biomedical studies, HRP-583 for social/behavioral studies, HRP-593 for drug/device trials), all templates share common core sections where DV language can be incorporated.

This document provides adaptable DV language designed to fit the most common IRB protocol sections, regardless of the specific template used.
