Description:

To enhance efficiency and rigor, NIH intends to modernize the approach to data and safety monitoring and is committed to engaging the public in development of an updated policy. Since the 1998 NIH Data and Safety Monitoring Policy was published, study designs and monitoring practices have evolved, creating the need for more efficient and flexible practices to monitor data for all clinical research. NIH plans to modernize the Data and Safety Monitoring Policy starting with gathering input from the public, experts in the field, and the research community.
