The Self Assessment eForm is a helpful checklist to assist the research teams and
the PAM auditors with examining and monitoring the IRB approved protocol. The eForm
is accessible to everyone and can be utilized at any time. Perhaps the most effective
way to prepare for a PAM audit is to carefully read the protocol and ensure the research
staff are performing the research activities as described and approved by the IRB.
Any changes to the protocol must be approved by the IRB prior to implementation by
submitting a Modification Form. One small change may seem trivial to a researcher,
but it may be of great concern to the IRB, federal regulators, or auditors.
The IRB Staff is available to assist in answering questions or to help facilitate
modifications to your protocol. They can be reached at 405-744-3377 or irb@okstate.edu
if you have any questions prior to submitting your modification.
