PRISM Monitor Accounts (New and Renewals)

Monitors must have an approved PRISM account PRIOR to making a Monitor Reservation for both remote and on-site monitoring. Please note it takes up to 14 calendar days to process and approve a monitor’s PRISM account. 

Record Release for Approved Monitoring

All requests for records MUST BE submitted at least 14 calendar days in advance of the Monitoring event. If a record release request is submitted less than 14 days of advance notice your request for monitoring will be denied and you will need to reschedule your monitoring visit. There will be no exceptions made. 

Monitoring

No co-monitoring is allowed. All requests for co-monitoring must be approved by SCI-CTO PRISM prior to making a monitor reservation and is case by case. No co-monitoring is allowed for oversight or training purposes. If co-monitoring is approved and the monitoring event is on-site the additional monitor must monitor remotely. One co-monitoring session is allowed over a 3-month time period. 

Onsite Monitoring 

On-site study monitoring at all Stanford locations is limited to a maximum of once every 3 months for each study. In the rare circumstance that additional on-site monitoring is needed, SCI-CTO PRISM approval is required. 

More information on these policies can be found here on the PRISM guidelines.
