State law also requires that the school corporation make available for inspection by parents or guardians any materials used in connection with research described above. Include in your application to the HSC a letter from the school corporation indicating that you have been given permission to do the research in the school. They may or may not be able to give consent depending upon the severity of their disabilities. If a person is capable of understanding the nature of the project, consent should be obtained from both the subject and a parent or guardian. In instances where the person is not competent to consent, parental or guardian consent alone is sufficient.
Prisoner means any person involuntarily confined or detained in a penal institution.
Any researcher planning research involving prisoners is encouraged to review the current regulations for other requirements before submitting the Summary Safeguard Statement for review. These regulations are in Subpart C of 45 CFR 46, and are available from the HSC office or on the web at the OHRP site . Ordinarily, when a person uses data collected by someone else for another purpose, the consent of the subjects must be sought again. A might disapprove heartily of project B and would refuse to cooperate. The wording of the original consent form is critical.
