  EMGO⁺ puts much emphasis on promoting and maintaining high quality standards in its research. First of all, EMGO⁺ invests in research methodology expertise and development, this especially concerns the topics of clinimetrics (Riekie de Vet, Caroline Terwee, Raymond Ostelo, Dirk Knol), Health Technology Assessment (HTA) (Maurits van Tulder, Raymond Ostelo), prognosis and prediction research (Daniëlle van der Windt, Martijn Heymans, Riekie de Vet) and longitudinal data analysis (Jos Twisk, Martijn Heymans). Furthermore, EMGO⁺ has developed and maintains a quality handbook that guides all research conducted within the institute supported by a quality committee. EMGO⁺ also has an internal Science Committee and an external Advisory Board  that advices the directorate on its scientific policy. The Science Committee also assists in improving research proposals.

• Annual report

  It is a pleasure to present our 2009 annual report. If you have received our annual reports before, this one may come as a bit of a surprise. We decided to start doing things somewhat differently this year. We aimed to produce a leaner annual report. In this print report you can read about the highlights of our research programs, our ongoing longitudinal studies, our academic workplaces, our quality control and committees, and our scientific and societal achievements. We have tried to include the core information only in an easily accessible format.
