Data & Safety Monitoring

Human Subjects Data

Data and Safety Monitoring Plans are designed to assure that each research study involving human subjects has a system in place for appropriate oversight and monitoring of the conduct and progress of the study that ensures:

  1. Important information that may affect the safety or welfare of participants comes to light and is acted upon as quickly as possible, and
  2. The validity and integrity of research data.
