Quality Assurance and Quality Control Administrative Supplement

摘要 推进临床转化研究需要一个高度胜任和合格的 调查人员和其他团队成员，能够有效和高效地开展 批判性研究。快速和严格实施研究的一个常见障碍是 在执行所需的监管或行政启动方面效率低下或不一致 过程，并在整个过程中保持高质量的保证和控制过程 研究过程的各个阶段。这一拟议的补充解决了研究中的这一差距 通过为伊利诺伊大学创建研究导航职位和流程， 临床和转化科学中心（UIC CCTS），这将有助于简化和 标准化监督、流程和培训，以确保所有行政和 代表CCTS向NCATS提交的研究相关材料是最高的 质量.这些流程改进将有助于加强UIC CCTS的能力， 迅速实施时间紧迫和其他紧急研究项目，提高整体质量 工作，并帮助实现我们的主要家长补助金的目的之一，改善方法和 与临床和转化研究相关的过程。我们的期望是， 实施这一拟议的补充将导致更严格地进行（即，少 报告的错误和更快的周转）研究和减少冗余请求， 研究延迟，从而加快了推进新研究成果转化的步伐 将知识转化为改善健康成果。

Abstract Advancing clinical translational research requires a highly competent and well-qualified workforce of investigators and other team members who can effectively and efficiently conduct critical research. One frequent barrier to the rapid and rigorous implementation of research is inefficiencies or inconsistencies in executing needed regulatory or administrative start-up processes and in maintaining high quality assurance and control processes throughout all stages of the research process. This proposed supplement addresses this gap in the research enterprise by creating a Research Navigation position and process for the University of Illinois Center for Clinical and Translational Science (UIC CCTS) that will help to streamline and standardize oversight, processes, and training needed to ensure that all administrative and research-related material submissions to NCATS on behalf of the CCTS are of the highest quality. These process improvements will help strengthen the capacity of the UIC CCTS to rapidly implement time-sensitive and other urgent research projects, improve the overall quality of work, and help fulfill one of our primary parent grant aims of improving methods and processes related to clinical and translational research. Our expectation is that successful implementation of this proposed supplement will result in more rigorously conducted (i.e., fewer reported errors and more rapid turnaround) research and reduce redundant requests and research delays, thereby accelerating the pace of advancing the translation of new research knowledge into improving health outcomes.
