REDCap Premium that are compliant with the FDA’s regulation at 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic signatures (commonly referred to as “Part 11”). If you are conducting an FDA-regulated study and you are utilizing either of these electronic platforms to collect research signatures, the study sponsor may ask for assurances that the platforms are Part 11 compliant. The documents on this page can be provided to study sponsors when such requests are made.</p> <p>Note: For information about how to determine whether you need an FDA compliant signature platform, how to decide which platform is the best fit for your study, and where to access more information about the platforms, please see <strong>FAQ #2 (“How can I obtain signed consent electronically?”)</strong> on the <a href="https://irb.ucsf.edu/irb-covid-19-faqs-resources">IRB COVID-19 FAQ & Resources</a> page.</p> <h3>UCSF Electronic Signature Certificate/Non-Repudiation Statement and Letter</h3> <p>This statement and letter from UCSF Senior Associate Vice Chancellor - Research, Brian Smith, JD, MBA may be provided to sponsors if requested: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://irb.ucsf.edu/sites/hrpp.ucsf.edu/files/part%2011%20compliance%20statement.pdf">Statement on University of California, San Francisco Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and (5/20/21)</a>.
