Project Description
The overall goal of this program is to strengthen operational efficiency, quality of ethical reviews and general research oversight practices of the KU School of Public Health Institutional Review Board. By the end of this project, we expect to have strengthened the administrative infrastructure of KUSPH-IRB operations and in turn improved its administrative efficiency, reduced review times, and improved the quality of the review process all consistent with the mission of KUSPH and DRC to improve the KUSPH-IRB into a highly functional and well respected IRB.
