A03 - Incorporating Investigator Education into Postapproval Compliance Activities

This session will discuss practical strategies for incorporating education into postapproval monitoring (PAM) activities. Monitoring is often viewed by the research community as a potentially punitive activity. However, reframing it as an educational endeavor about necessary research practices will increase knowledge and skills in conducting compliant, high quality, ethically sound human subjects research. Taking the extra steps to provide education during monitoring activities builds relationships with the research community and strengthens the overall research compliance by the research community. The presenters will share specific tools and techniques that audience members may incorporate into their own monitoring programs or as a part of study related activities.
