The Post-Approval Verification & Education (PAVE) program is responsible for conducting post-approval evaluations of active committee-approved research protocols. These evaluations are designed to be collaborative and educational—never punitive—with the goal of confirming that research activities remain consistent with what was approved. When needed, the program provides constructive feedback and connects research teams with relevant resources to support compliance and improve operational practices.
Key Features of the Post-Approval Evaluation Process
As part of its post-approval education component, the PAVE Program offers tailored training, guidance, and practical tools to support researchers in understanding and meeting regulatory requirements throughout the life of their studies. Educational efforts are designed to address common compliance challenges, clarify expectations, and empower investigators and their teams to engage in responsible and effective research practices.
