Research Compliance Committee

The Research Compliance Committee (RCC) meets quarterly with a goal of building and cultivating an integrated approach to research risk mitigation and advancing ethical, safe, and compliant practices of researchers, staff, and students.

Among other things, participation provides an opportunity for the separately functioning and distributed research compliance offices at the University to come together and discuss the program’s effectiveness and critical risk areas.

Guiding Principles

• To encompass all research compliance areas to support the University’s commitment to research.
• To collaborate with the research community of the University to develop consistent, clear, and well integrated compliance policies and processes.
• To ensure that research compliance expectations are communicated to the entire research community.
• To provide reports to leadership that are comprehensive and provide a clear and accurate assessment of the health of research compliance at the University.
