facit.org: Requests + Registration Users Agreement

License for use of any English version of a FACIT measure is granted free of charge. Investigators are required to complete one (1) collaborator's project information form for every project or study in which they plan on using one or more of the FACIT measures, and to notify us of any related reports or publications as they become available. Since scale construction and validation are developmental processes, we also appreciate a willingness on the part of the investigator(s) to share relevant components of their results to further reliability and validity testing (where applicable and appropriate).

License for use of a translated questionnaire may also require a fee. This decision is made on an individual project basis according to the nature of the trial, the questionnaires and translations to be used, the sponsor, and standing contractual arrangements. In general, there is a licensing fee for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to use the translated questionnaires in clinical trials of a commercial nature. For more information, please refer to the translation methods and services licensure link.
