Research Compliance

Research compliance refers to following the rules, regulations, policies, and standards of conduct that govern research. This can include ensuring that research is conducted with integrity, ethics, and honesty, and in accordance with all applicable laws.

Research compliance is an expansive set of responsibilities not just for the PI of a project, but for anyone participating in research: faculty, staff, technicians, Post Docs, and students.

Additional university related compliance information is available on the Compliance & Equity Office website.
