Research Compliance
The Office of Research Compliance (ORC) has responsibility for assisting everyone involved in research at the university by evaluating policies for compliance with federal and state regulations and providing educational opportunities for faculty, staff and students to maintain an awareness of how to best meet the regulatory challenges in research. The Office also provides access to training in Responsible Conduct of Research for all university faculty, staff and students.
