H16 - [IN-PERSON/RECORDED] As Compared to... What? A Data‐Driven Approach to Identifying Peer Institutions in a Research Compliance Context

This session will be offered in-person and recorded for on-demand access by in-person PRIMR23 attendees registered for this day, and PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting registrants.

Research compliance areas almost always collect metrics on their own programs, and are tasked with developing institutional policies where there is flexibility in regulation. But, how can a compliance area know how their metrics stack up against similarly situated institutions, and how can a compliance area ensure its institutional policies are appropriate to their own context, without completely reinventing the wheel? This session will discuss a novel data-driven approach to identifying institutional peers (or aspirational peers), in order to conduct benchmarking and to assist in the development of effective policies and procedures that are appropriate to the institutional context.
