Potential research subjects should be informed about the university’s position regarding emergency care and compensation in case of injury.
For research studies involving greater than minimal risk, the consent form must contain the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s position should medical treatment be required for subjects:
In the unlikely event that you should suffer an injury as a direct consequence of the research procedures described above, no additional compensation for physical care, hospitalization, loss of income, pain, suffering, or any other form of compensation will be provided. None of the above shall be construed as a waiver of any legal rights or redress you may have.
