Post-Approval Monitoring Program (PMP)
The University of Texas at Dallas’ Post-Approval Monitoring Program (PMP) is designed to ensure the ongoing safety and compliance of research involving human subjects. This program, managed by the Office of Human Subjects Protections (OHSP), conducts thorough reviews of active studies to assess adherence to approved protocols and regulatory requirements. The PMP aims to safeguard participant welfare, provide educational support to researchers, and identify areas for improvement. Reviews may be initiated randomly, at the request of the Principal Investigator (PI), or due to specific concerns about participant risk. Through this proactive approach, UTD maintains high standards of ethical research and continuous quality improvement.
Lab Presentations
The Office of Human Subjects Protections (OHSP) offers educational and quality improvement presentations for faculty and students. Upon invitation, a representative of the OHSP will visit your lab, either in-person or online, to discuss crucial topics such as the importance of protecting human subjects in research, roles and responsibilities of the Institutional Review Board (IRB), designing ethical research studies, ensuring data security and privacy and much more. These presentations aim to enhance understanding and compliance with ethical research practices, fostering a culture of excellence and responsibility in research at UTD.
