The Psycho-Oncology Cooperative Research Group (PoGoG) has
developed a program of quality assurance for Psycho-Oncology Research. One
aspect of this program has been the development of Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs).
The development and use of SOPs
are an integral part of a successful quality system. It provides written
instructions on how to perform a task or process appropriately and
consistently. SOPs describe both technical and operational elements of conducting
research studies that would be managed under a Quality Assurance (QA) and
Management Plan compliant with governmental and international regulations.
Below are the current PoCoG SOPs available. Some of the templates have two
versions – one with instructions and examples (which have been designed for new
users) and blanks versions (for those who have used the templates before).
If you have any feedback on these documents please contact
the PoCoG Executive Office.
If you would like to be notified about new SOPs as they are developed, please sign up to be a PoCoG member.
