    Hello All,

    I'd like to find out whether or not your institution includes an actual signature (electronic - jpeg, png) of the IRB Chair/HRPP Director in the letter templates you have created in Cayuse Human Ethics. Any responses are appreciated.
    Best,

    Jenn

    We use a jpeg for the Director.

    Hi Jenn,

    Lamar University does not include an actual signature in the letter templates.  I will be more than happy to send you a sample of our letter if you would like.

    Hi Jenn,

    Yes, our institution includes an actual signature (electronic - jpeg) of the IRB Chair in the letter templates we've created in Cayuse Human Ethics. We utilize the image feature in the templates to input it and then I adjust the size.

    Hope this helps!

    At Providence College, we do not have an actual signature on any exemption letters. All letters are from the Providence College IRB and sent out from the official IRB account. It wasn't adding any value for us and causing us more work.  We do use a jpeg signature on our expedited and full letters.
