Institutional Data and Safety Monitoring Board (IDSMB)

CTSI oversees DSMBs for investigator-initiated clinical trials that require oversight and assists in ensuring safe conduct of the study. To request services please complete the IDSMB request form.

A DSMB training manual has been developed through a collaborative effort across several academic institutions with CTSA awards. The purpose of this manual is to serve as a training and reference resource for individuals asked to serve on a DSMB or some other capacity of safety oversight for clinical research studies. It contains a comprehensive collection of the regulatory framework for DSMBs, as well as best practices.
