UF Research Human Subject Research Process Improvement Working Group

As you may know, the UF Office of Research has chartered two working groups to examine the effectiveness of the human subject research and laboratory animal research enterprises at UF.  Three weeks ago, the Human Subject Research Process Improvement Working Group (HSRPIWG) conducted a Qualtrix Survey gathering your thoughts regarding the Human Subject Research enterprise.  To further understand the survey’s results and your experiences, the HSRPIWG is conducting 1-hour Focus Groups via Zoom with both faculty and staff.

IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN CLINICAL AND HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH ON THE UF CAMPUS, these focus groups are an opportunity to voice your opinion on ways to improve the process of conducting clinical and human subject research at UF. We have a first slate of 8 available time slots which are available in a Doodle link below. Participation will be first come, first serve. If none of those dates or times work for you, please email Lyle Moldawer at moldawer@surgery.ufl.edu to schedule additional focus groups. Please note the focus groups will not be recorded and any comments will be de-identified by the facilitators. Please select one or two options from the doodle poll. The HSRPIWG is looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
