If you like what you see here, we’d love to have you join us to develop CUSP further! Contact CUSP@thefdp.org to inquire. Volunteer opportunities include working with our team in one of 4 areas:
The Education and Outreach committee provides the research compliance administrators and research community information about the CUSP project. The subcommittee’s main objectives are:
Co-Chairs:
Key Team Members:
The FDP CUSP Sharing Site Help Desk Team is responsible for responding to end user requests for new FDP CUSP sharing site Institutional Representative accounts by creating the account and providing “getting started” information for the new user. Additionally, the Help Desk is responsible for responding to general inquiries about using the site and, if needed, for escalating inquiries to another team. This document provides how-to information in the provision of that support so that end users have a consistent experience when working with CUSP and requesting support.
The Help Desk is currently recruiting new team members to assist users once the pilot phase launches, as well as to provide input during the beta development phase of the sharing site. We are putting together help documents to assist users on how to use the sharing site, to prepare for the pilot phase launch, as well as set up a rotation of team members who can help respond to questions in a timely and consistent fashion. Lastly, we are establishing internal procedures to ensure consistent help is provided to all users, and collaborating with other teams as needed, to ensure there are no gaps or unmet needs for CUSP users as development moves forward.
Many hands make light work and serving on this group allows members to increase their familiarity with CUSP. Member duties would be to staff the help desk, e.g. answer general inquiries, set up new accounts, escalate tech issues, etc. Each team member will sign up for a shift on a shared calendar, and you can also help draft/review site and user documentation. Are you interested? Contact one of the Co-Chairs (above), or you can also email cusp@thefdp.org.
The Quality Control Committee is responsible for oversight, development and maintenance of the overall quality for CUSP. We provide the necessary planning and control to ensure this level of success.
The group monitors and reports on quality issues and shares best practices throughout the organization. We also provide guidance to develop, issue, and analyze ongoing surveys and evaluations. The committee provides oversight for data integrity review, and analysis (e.g. incomplete records), and also reviews flagged procedures, following up with institutions as needed to correct incomplete records, address flagged procedures etc.
The subcommittee’s main objectives are:
Please contact the Quality Control Subcommittee at cusp@thefdp.org with any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns.
