Clinical Research Compliance and Education

Regulatory Compliance

Through policy and process, the University promotes the highest standards of regulatory compliance in all areas of sponsored projects, including but not limited to:

  • protection of human subjects (IRB);

  • appropriate use of animals in research (IACUC);

  • appropriate handling of radioactive, hazardous and toxic materials and wastes;

  • biosafety; and

  • conflict of interests and integrity in research.

In addition, the reporting of research results, compliance with federal and international laws, assurance that charges to sponsored projects are allowable and allocable, and documentation of cost sharing are critical issues in university audits. Below are the regulatory areas of concern and contact information.
