RQMP @ OBGYN: WHY SHOULD WE CARE?
|
|
Each department, center and institute in the School of Medicine is developing a Research Quality Management Program. The program for each unit is led by a Research Quality Officer (RQO) and Lead Research Administrator (LRA). The oversight responsibilities of the RQO and LRA are generally split between research and research administration respectively, however, the intent of bringing these responsibilities together under one program is to facilitate communication and understanding between these branches and to ensure that faculty and staff are working collectively toward common goals of improved research quality, scientific integrity and accountability.

Learn about anticipated benefits for faculty and staff, from
Megan Huchko, MD, MPH
, the Ob/Gyn Research Quality Officer, and
Mark Ferguson, PhD
, Lead Research Administrator, about the new Research Quality Management Program (RQMP) for Ob/Gyn.
