Part II - TRAC Principles

Section C: Quality assurance and validation

Chapter C.5 Sponsors’ QA processes

  1. Sponsors rely on the TRAC quality assurance procedures, and sometimes augment this with their own quality assurance procedures.
  2. The Research Councils operate a programme of dipstick testing – refer to their website accessible at document linkAnnex 1.
  3. OGDs and charities generally rely on TRAC and Research Council procedures to provide the required reassurance.
  4. The EU does not rely on TRAC procedures or systems. They operate various types of procedure on EU-funded Research, ESF and ERDF projects – see references to information provided at document linkAnnex 1.
