NCATS CTSA Program Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Group

Purpose: The QA/QC Group meets bi-monthly to discuss processes, challenges and best practices related to ensuring the submission of successful CTSA-related information packages to NCATS (with a specific focus on submissions of pilots and K projects conducting research with human subjects). NCATS provided the NOT-TR-20-014 administrative supplement (expired Sept. 10, 2022) to UL1 grants to support a dedicated quality assurance/quality control position, and the QA/QC position is a requirement under the new CTSA funding opportunity (PAR-24-272). This group is not limited to only those funded by NOT-TR-20-014 or serving in the required QA/QC role under the UM1. If interested in joining the QA/QC Group please reach out to Lauren Fitzharris to receive registration information for the meetings, be added to the QA/QC Listserv, and have access to the QA/QC Group Discussion Forum.
