Quality Assurance Plan for Research

The purpose of this Quality Assurance Plan for Research is to set forth the principles for good research practices, which will in turn be used to institutionalize quality assurance processes through the routine management of research products.

The institutionalization of quality assurance can be done through each step in the managing and carrying out of the research including design of the research plan, procurement procedures and competitive bidding, screening research applications, external review of technical merit, ethics review process, contracting research products, and monitoring and evaluating implementation.
