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!
Three Collaborative Institute Training Initiative (CITI) courses are now available in
Spanish
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.

Important Reminder: The Key Information Section
This updated regulatory requirement takes effect next Monday, 4/4/22
As stated in our March newsletter, the Key Information Section for Informed Consent Forms will be required as of next Monday, April 4th, 2022!
The Key Information Section is a part of the Informed Consent Form (ICF) that provides enough information – the “key” information – a prospective participant needs to determine whether they should participate in your study. The Key Information Section is designed to facilitate prospective participants’ (or a legally authorized representative’s) understanding of the research study, and the reasons why one might wish to participate, or not participate, in the study.
