Welcome to the Office of Research Compliance
Our mission is to provide assistance to faculty, staff and students in conducting research in compliance with federal, state and local regulations.
University research activities are overseen by regulatory and compliance committees imposed by federal laws. Non-compliance may result in severe penalties to the institution and in some instances to the individual. It is the responsibility of all researchers to be familiar with university policies relating to areas of research requiring compliance with government regulations.
The ORC is responsible for the following compliance areas:
- Human Subjects (IRB)
- Animal Care and Use (IACUC)
- Biosafety (IBC)
- Research Misconduct
- Responsible Conduct of Research
NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
When Do Class Assignments Require IRB Approval?
In support of its teaching and research mission, the University encourages novel and innovative classroom activities. Many class assignments involve research methods such as questionnaires, interviews, or other interactions with individuals, and such assignments are often presented at internal and external research and scholarship conferences. This memo addresses whether and when such assignments should be reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure the protection of human subjects.
