The QA/QC group convenes every two months to engage in discussions regarding processes, challenges, and optimal approaches linked to ensuring the successful submission of CTSA-related information packages to NCATS. The group places particular emphasis on submissions involving piloted projects and K projects that encompass research involving human subjects. NCATS has extended an administrative supplement to UL1 grants to facilitate the presence of a dedicated quality assurance-quality control role. This form of support persists in the latest CTSA funding opportunity.
It is important to note that participation in this group does not mandate funding from the supplement.
