FRO is available to help residents, fellows and faculty facilitate their research and scholarly activity projects.  All faculty and residents requesting resources from FRO are required to complete the Faculty and Resident Request for Resources form (complete the form before beginning the IRB process).  Below is a list of resources that might be requested from FRO coupled with a brief description of what FRO can provide:

• Study Protocol – While FRO cannot write the protocol, the office can assist with revising and editing a written protocol.

  • Provide computer access to enter/analyze data

• Literature review – FRO can arrange library assistance and assist with editing/revising literature reviews
