Additional permission (internal use by any site): AIMR grants every research site, site network, sponsor-investigator and institution, including for-profit organizations, permission to copy, adapt and use these templates as its own internal procedures and forms to run its own research operations. This internal use is permitted whether or not the organization is for-profit.

What still requires written permission from AIMR: selling, licensing or repackaging these templates or derivatives as a product, or delivering them as a paid consulting deliverable to another organization.
