I. Roles and Responsibilities

The Independent Safety Monitor (ISM) is a physician with relevant expertise whose primary responsibility is to provide independent safety monitoring in a timely fashion. This is accomplished by review of adverse events, immediately after they occur or are reported, with follow-up through resolution. The ISM evaluates individual and cumulative participant data when making recommendations regarding the safe continuation of the study.

I. Roles and Responsibilities

The Clinical Study Oversight Committee (CSOC) is an independent group of experts that advises NIDCR and study investigators on clinical studies not involving an intervention. Such clinical research studies may be complex, involve risk or vulnerable populations, and may be observational, specimen collection, epidemiology or surveillance studies.
