Recruitment

The beginning of the informed consent process starts with recruiting subjects. Through regulations and common sense, involvement of persons considering participation in a clinical trial begins with his or her obtaining information on a specific clinical trial for which he or she may be eligible. The sponsor, the principal investigator, the study coordinator, and the IRB are all involved in the recruitment process.

All recruitment materials and practices must be reviewed and approved by the IRB (advertisements, World Wide Web sites, medical records, databases, newsletter, letters, referrals, etc.) prior to initiating any recruitment. The IRB will assess whether the recruitment process promotes voluntary participation and is not coercive.

National Jewish Health Branding Guidelines

To ensure that research recruitment flyers meet the Branding Guidelines established for National Jewish Health™, the Design Studio has provided templates for you to customize. These templates were created in Word, are easy to use, and meet the Branding Guidelines. The templates are shown with text in place so you can see what completed flyer may look like. To create a flyer just click on the text and replace with your own copy and photo.

The templates were designed with tabs at the bottom. If tabs are not needed, just click on the text box to eliminate.

The banner at top is permanent features and contains the correct usage of our logo. The use of clip art is discouraged in National Jewish Health materials.

National Jewish Health employees may access templates on the Public Affairs & Design Studio page on the intranet. Others may request templates by contacting the Design Studio at 303-398-1798 or the NJH IRB at 303-398-1477.
