Quality Central: sharpening the focus on sound science and quality practices.
Rebecca L Davies, PhD is the Director of Quality Central at the University Of Minnesota College Of Veterinary Medicine.Quality Central is an internal service organization that provides tools and support for integrating quality assurance (QA) best practices into collegiate research, service and training programs. Dr. Davies is actively encouraging scientists to use QA best practices to demonstrate the quality of the research data they generate, and to facilitate the reconstruction and reproducibility of their research results. Dr. Davies is leading the Data Reproducibility Initiative which is a national team tasked with creating tools and templates designed to make the integration of research QA into academic research programs easier. She is also developing research QA training curriculum for graduate students and post docs at the University of Minnesota.
