The RKRS Program’s goal is to facilitate rapid activation of research. The program also provides an institution-wide resource for consultation on ethical issues in the design and conduct of research. To design and implement its services and procedures, the RKRS Program works closely with investigators, the UF Institutional Review Boards and the CTSI Scientific Advisory Committee.
