IRB Protocol Number: 16.06.09

This notification certifies that the research protocol and consent documents described above
have been renewed by the NORC Institutional Review Board (IRB00000967), under its
Federalwide Assurance #FWA00000142, which is valid through July 10, 2018.
The IRB has approved continuation of your research for a period of one year. To avoid a
lapse in IRB approval, please submit your continuing review materials to the IRB at least 2
weeks prior to the expiration date listed above. Although the IRB will provide reminders to
you about renewing your study’s approval as you near the expiration date, it is the
responsibility of the principal investigator and project director to ensure that IRB
approval does not lapse and that continuing review materials are submitted before
a study’s approval expires. If a study’s IRB approval lapses, all human subjects
research activities must stop until IRB approval is renewed.
Any amendments or other changes to this protocol must be submitted for review by the
IRB, and all adverse events must be reported to the IRB.
