AHRC Workshop: The role of the Data & Safety Monitoring Board and other committees in clinical research

Date: July 15, 9:30 – 11am

Facilitators: Karen Pope, Manager, Observational Epidemiology & Qualitative Research; Jodi Shim, Clinical Research Specialist

Description: What is a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)?  When is it needed and who should be a member?  What is the DSMB’s role?  Should you consider other types of study committees?  While the answers to these questions will vary with each clinical research project, there are some general considerations to keep in mind when in the planning stages of a project.  This session provides information and tips regarding the DSMB and other common types of committees that exist in clinical research (adjudication, steering, publication, etc.), what their respective roles are, and what to consider when establishing the membership.

Please register online. Registration is limited to 35 participants.
