Answers for the protocol form

Ethics forms ask where data is stored, who can access it, and how long it is kept. Candor fills in the platform answers for you. Where the decision is yours, such as how long you keep results, Candor marks it so you can finish it. Supporting documents are ready to attach if your board wants them on file.

Using Candor’s optional AI features in a study? See what each one sends, and the answers for your form.

Download the supporting documents (.zip, 6 PDFs)

No email required. Downloads as a .zip file containing 6 PDF documents.
