Compliance in clinical research is often perceived as reactive, audit-driven, and enforcement-focused—creating barriers between compliance programs and study teams. This session presents a transformative, practical model that redefines compliance as a proactive, relationship-centered, and educational function that drives measurable improvements in research quality and efficiency.

Using Tampa General Hospital’s Quality Review Program (QRP) as a case study, this session introduces a novel framework positioning compliance as *“a wellness visit for your research”—*a collegial, structured approach that emphasizes continuous improvement, stakeholder engagement, and early risk identification 

Participants will gain actionable strategies to:

•  Build and sustain a compliance culture rooted in partnership and shared accountability
• Connect compliance activities to stakeholder value and operational outcomes
• Leverage education and advocacy to improve engagement and adoption
• Implement scalable, risk-based quality review frameworks
• Strengthen collaboration across clinical, operational, and compliance teams

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants should be able to:

• Define Compliance Culture and describe how it differs from traditional oversight models
• Explain what compliance does, why it matters, and how it delivers value to stakeholders
• Identify key components required to successfully implement a proactive compliance framework
• Apply strategies to build trust, engagement, and relationships with research teams
• Develop an approach to scale compliance programs using education, data, and risk-based methodologies
