Research Compliance Officer Auditing Education Program

One area of focus of ORO’s Education and Data Analytics (EDA) Workgroup is the provisioning of research compliance auditing education to VA medical facility Research Compliance Officers (RCOs).  EDA performs remote and on-site assessments of RCO auditing programs, provides tailored technical assistance to RCOs, and identifies good practices for performing and reporting required audits.  EDA provides national teleconferences for RCOs and self-study guides for new RCOs regarding VA policy.  EDA also updates ORO’s RCO auditing requirements.

You may contact the ORO EDA Workgroup via email at OROEDA@va.gov.

Attention VA RCOs:

Research Compliance Officer Reference Materials and Tools are located on ORO's Research Compliance and Technical Assistance SharePoint Site. (Internal VA website)
