Reporting mechanism
The Research Committee reports to the Academic Board.
Objectives
The RCOG plays an active role in research in obstetrics and gynaecology. The Research Committee promotes and coordinates the RCOG's research activities.
The central objective of the Research Committee is to facilitate the evaluation of interventions to improve reproductive health outcomes for women, their children and their families. In addition, the Research Committee aims to:
- Improve the coordination of research
- Maintain and enhance the quality of research
- Improve the integration of research
- Widen participation in research
The strategic approach to addressing these challenges includes the development of a research portfolio that will:
- Become relevant to all aspects of the reproductive health agenda
- Make a real difference to the health and lives of women, their children and their families in the UK and beyond
- Be generated by investigators from a wide range of disciplines
- Be informed by the views and perspectives of women and their families
Members of the group are chairs of the 11 Clinical Study Groups (CSGs), which facilitate the process of developing and expanding the portfolio of research in reproductive health care in the UK. CSGs provide the primary route through which new ideas for clinical trials and other well designed studies are developed in the reproductive health field.

About the CSGs
Each CSG comprises executive and ordinary members. The CSGs are multidisciplinary groups that address research priorities and develop research proposals for funding. The groups interact with societies, lay communities and funding bodies. If you're interested in developing a research proposal or need advice on any research issue, please contact the Chair of the relevant CSG.
