The new DSMP Information Sheet for Principal Investigators provides guidance about the requirements for Data Safety Monitoring Plans (DSMP). In summary, a DSMP:
- Is required if PIs are conducting interventional studies involving more than minimal risk and must be described in Part 5 of the CHR Full Committee Application;
- Is established to assure that each research study has a plan for the appropriate oversight and monitoring of the conduct of the study to ensure the safety of participants and the validity and integrity of the data;
- Should specifically indicate whether or not there will be a formal Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) or Data Monitoring Committee (DMC).
Please call Susie Corl at 502-6467 if you have any questions.
Academic Senate Resolution on Research Funding Sources
This resolution is only part of a response to the issue of accepting funding from tobacco companies:
"The principles of academic freedom and the policies of the University of California require that individual faculty members be free to accept or refuse research support from any source consistent with their individual judgment and conscience and with University policy. Therefore, a unit of the University may not refuse to process, accept, or administer a research award based on source of the funds; nor may such a unit encumber a faculty member's ability to solicit or accept awards based on the source of the funds, except as directed by the UC Board of Regents. "
