The post-approval monitoring (PAM) program is designed to improve the quality of research by ensuring congruence between what is described in the research IBC registration and what is occurring during the actual performance of research activities. The PAM process will give researchers an opportunity to ask questions and receive information about regulations and Princeton policy issues regarding the use of biohazards in research and teaching.

All IBC registrations are subject to PAM. This may overlap with PAM of IACUC or IRB protocols that have an IBC registration.

The IBC will receive periodic reports of the activities and findings of the PAM program at the committee meetings.
