Quality Committee
The quality committee consists of a representation of various professions, programs and departments of the institute. The members are: Pascal Borry, PhD, Marleen van der Horst, Msc, Wim Kraan, MSc, Michel Paardekooper, PhD (quality officer), Carry Renders, PhD, Esther van 't Riet, PhD, Annemieke van Straten, PhD (Chair) and Agnes Willemen, PhD.
The Quality Committee is responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining a system for quality assurance and control for the institute. The system is aimed at supporting and improving the research process. Moreover, the Quality Committee advises the directorate on quality issues. To fulfil its tasks the quality committee audits research projects, maintains and expands a web-based quality manual and provides personal introductions to all newly appointed researchers within the institute.
In 2011 the Quality Committee has audited 15 research projects. The quality officer has given 56 personal introductions for newly appointed investigators. A campaign to promote the proper handling of privacy sensitive data was continued. All projects with an unknown privacy status were asked to provide the status information. The development of a web-based self evaluation for the EMGO+ researchers resulted into a first version. A guideline on handling missing data and renewed guidelines about questionnaires were published on the website.
