In addition to research-appropriate experience and qualifications, a working knowledge in the appropriate conduct of research is essential.
OSF HealthCare expects investigators and research staff to understand and comply with federal, state and local laws, regulations and guidance that apply to their research.
This is accomplished through continuous education and training resources offered through a variety of providers and methods.
