Sunday, November 17, 2024

1:00 PM – 4:15 PM PT

Location: Room 333-334

Workshop Materials (slides/handouts) can be found here.

Research compliance programs often struggle to find balance between providing quality reviews that best leverage institutional resources without impacting turnaround time. Best practices to identify and address compliance areas relevant to research also vary depending on institutional type, size, and overall compliance program structure. With an ever-increasing "gatekeeper" role placed on HRPPs, it can be challenging to ensure research compliance activities are best informed by relevant institutional components and conducted with adherence to regulatory, institutional, and administrative requirements. This workshop will showcase QA in research and how it can be implemented.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how to design an effective QA Program
Explore tools that support an effective QA Program
Discuss how to scale your QA Program to fit your needs and best support the HRPP mission of compliance
