9 Data and Safety Monitoring Plan
This section is required when research involves more than Minimal Risk to subjects as defined in “HRP-001 SOP- Definitions.”
Minimal Risk is defined as the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research that are not greater in and of themselves than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests. For research involving prisoners, Minimal Risk is the probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy persons.
