Welcome to the Northern Plains Area OSQR and On-site Review page. Our goal is to provide NPA scientists with guidelines and other useful information to navigate the sometimes complex web of writing new CRIS project plans and navigating the approval process dictated by the Office of Scientific Quality Review (OSQR). This page also includes information and links regarding the complexities associated with the On-site Review process for Research Unit Administrators and scientific personnel. We’re here to help and encourage you to contact us if you have questions or need additional information.
