THE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT UNIT (QIU)

Clinical Research Coordinator Group (CRCG)

The Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) and the Quality Improvement Unit (QIU) are forming a Clinical Research Coordinator Group (CRCG) to establish a method for regular feedback and dialogue between the QIU and key research coordinators involved in the day-to-day implementation and operational functions of human research projects. Some of ways in which the CRCG may work with the QIU are to help:

The CRCG may also serve as an ongoing forum for networking and resource sharing within the clinical research community here at UCSF. The work of the group will initially be facilitated by the staff of the QIU and will likely include periodic needs assessments and review of newly drafted documents by email exchange. Eventually, interested individuals from the larger group may to want to gather for face-to-face meetings (perhaps quarterly).

If you already receive the HRPP Bulletin, we will contact you later with more information about this group. If you know of a colleague who might be interested in joining the Clinical Research Coordinator Group, please invite them to send their email address to Joseph McGuire at: joseph.mcguire@ucsf.edu.

For more information about the CRCG, the QIU or the HRPP, please call Carroll Child at 514-3824 or visit the HRPP website.
