DIVISION OF RESEARCH
Office of Research Compliance
Welcome to the Office of Research Compliance (ORC) at Boise State University. 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
- Research Conflicts of Interest
- Responsible Conduct of Research
Calendar of Events
Summer 2008 Schedule
Protocol applications are accepted during the summer months (May, June, July and August). There are no regularly scheduled meetings during the summer and applications will be reviewed for approval as they are received. Please note that several compliance committee members are faculty and they may not be on campus as often during the Spring and Fall semesters. Therefore, it may take some additional time to review and approve protocol applications during the summer.
