The Quality Review Methods (QRM) is the third step* in the Dissertation Development Process for students. The QRM is designed to evaluate the alignment of a student’s research topic, research design and the proposed execution of the research study. The QRM is also referred to as the proposal (Chapters 1-3) assignment in the course DOC/741 (DOC/733, DOC/736A, DOC/736AI, or DOC/736N1 in retired/PhD programs). Students may not progress in the program or submit to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) until they receive QRM Acceptance.

You can find additional information on Phase 4 by reviewing the CDS Central. 

QRM submissions take place in TK20. Please review the new Dissertation Criteria Assessment.
