8. Data and Safety - Monitoring Plan*

*As per NCRR requirements, ALL protocols submitted to the GCRC must have a data and safety-monitoring plan. The minimal requirements for a DSMP according to the NCRR Advisory Council include: 1) Adverse event (AE) grading and attribution scale; 2) Plan for unanticipated AE reporting; 3) Plan for annual reporting of AEs; and 4) Plan for safety review (by whom and at what frequency). The level of detail on the DSMP should be commensurate with the level of risk entailed in the study. If you have any questions concerning what information is required, please contact the GCRC Research Subject Advocate (Vikki Thurman). If you are unsure whether your study might need a DSM Board please contact Ms. Thurman. In situations where it is unclear whether a study requires a DSMB or not, the ultimate decision is made by the GAC.

A.  Do you have a DSM Board? Yes No

Sleep Core
Section A: Sleep Study Number
* Please contact Dr. Beth Malow with questions at: ,,
(615) 322-0283
Sleep research studies are a shared resource and there may be scheduling constrains. Overnight studies are generally performed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Other studies (multiple sleep latency tests, hospital wireless) are scheduled around the overnight studies in a way that maximizes access for users. We will make every effort to meet your scheduling needs within our constraints.
Describe briefly the flow of sleep studies for a participant. (Example: Participant undergoes two consecutive nights of PSG with a multiple sleep latency test after the second night. If at least one of the nights is positive for sleep apnea, participant will return for a CPAP trial).
* Type here
Total number of participants in Year 1: / 0
Total number of requested overnight PSGs (baseline PSGs, CPAP studies) in Year 1: / 0
Do these PSGs include a full head EEG? / Yes No
Do these PSGs include continuous BP monitoring? / Yes No
Other studies requested (list total number requested in Year 1 next to each study type)
Multiple Sleep Latency Test: / 0
Hospital Wireless studies: / 0
Section B: Scheduling
List your preferences for nights of PSG and other studies. (Example: Preference #1: Participant will undergo a Monday and Tuesday PSG with a multiple sleep latency test on Wed. Preference #2: Participant will undergo a Tuesday and Wednesday PSG with a multiple sleep latency test on Thurs). As stated above, because this is a shared resource, we have constraints on scheduling but will make every effort to accommodate users.

Preference #2: * Type here
Section C: Grant Support
Please check one of the following
I currently have grant support that can be used to offset the cost of the GCRC Sleep Core.
I do not currently have grant support that can be used to offset the cost of the GCRC Sleep Core, but plan to use my pilot data to obtain grant support to offset the cost of the GCRC Sleep Core.
