Membership – Membership in the Research CFG is open to all Health Care Compliance Association members, however, it is customary that the members of the Research CFG have a professional interest or background in compliance and ethics in Research, whether it be in a for or not for profit setting and they will be the ones to benefit the most from the CFG activities of the Research Compliance Focus Group.  Gain valuable information on the basics of compliance as they relate to research settings.  Cover more complicated topics too.
Purpose – To recognize that research organizations have compliance and business ethics and ethics issues and concerns that are unique or specific to their activities and that don’t exist in the same form in their research organizations.  The Research CFG will provide a forum and means for identifying, discussing and helping participants to develop solutions to these special compliance, ethics and business ethics concerns and issues through participation in some or all of the following activities:

• Regular articles in HCCA’s Compliance Today
• Supporting the Compliance Institute’s Research Industry Immersion
• Maintaining the documents library and other Community areas of the HCCA’s Research Community page on the HCCA website.
• Providing planning for audio conferences on pertinent topics in Research

To become a member of the Research CFG first you must be a member of HCCA.  Then, please contact the Research CFG Chair with your contact information.
