The Human Research Protections Office is pleased to announce that Dr. Jessica Kisenwether, Director, was recently appointed Assistant Professor of Teaching in Population Health Sciences.
The WCM IRB is excited to formally introduce the Post-Approval Monitoring (PAM) Program. While post-approval monitoring has long been part of HRP’s oversight activities, PAM brings these efforts together under a dedicated, structured program focused on partnership, education, and continuous quality improvement.
The Human Research Protections (HRP) office is excited to announce our new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Toolkit!

Continuing Review
Submit for continuing review 60-90 days prior to expiration to ensure there is no
lapse in study approval.
Policies: Visit the WCM Policy Library > Research > Research Integrity - Human Subjects
Research to review all HRP policies.
Currently, a Post-Approval Monitoring - Annual Report (PAM-AR) submission is due yearly for all exempt or IRB-approved expedited protocols that do not require continuing review.
In an effort to reduce researcher burden, effective immediately, the WCM IRB will now only require a PAM-“AR” submission every five years, rather than annually.

To the WCM Research Community,
The WCM IRB began a partnership with the Biomedical Research Alliance of NY (BRANY) in December 2021 to implement BRANYplus, a temporary program to review initial submissions of proposed research studies. Due to the positive feedback on this program, BRANYplus is now being extended at least through the summer. We will provide an update on the BRANYplus end date in future communications.
