PACE Sample Documents

Samples included are intended to be examples of the types of samples you should be using in your program to meet PACE standards. If you are not currently using any of these elements, you can modify the examples we give you to fit your program, start using in your program, and submit as your sample. Standard XIV can be used as an example in formulating your organization's guidelines or policies related to commercial support. Please refer back to the guidebook for clarification as you complete the application.
