The first major product of this group will be a revised set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) to guide IUPUI/Clarian researchers. Various members of the Task Force are writing SOPs, which are then reviewed by the Director, Research Compliance Administration (Shelley Bizila), the Assistant Director, Research Compliance Administration (Sara Ellis), and our Research Compliance Advisor (Michael J. Schmidt).

The next installment of human subject research quality and compliance awareness [to be featured in the October issue of the R&SP Communicator] will discuss in detail the SOPs that are being written and the process by which each SOP will move through the IUPUI/Clarian system prior to final approval and implementation in operational areas.
