Compliance

A number of compliance issues that may impact a proposal need to be examined during the proposal development stage. These issues can include use of human subjects, vertebrate animals, or radioactive materials as well as identifying conflicts of interests, or responding to inquiries related to intellectual property or export controls.

Various units within the Office of the Vice Provost for Research can assist with compliance considerations:

Compliance Consideration	Available Resources
Human Subjects	Office of Human Research
Animal Use	Animal Research Facility
Public Health Service (PHS) conflicts of interests	Research Integrity
Export Controls	Export Controls
OVPR Research Compliance Officer (for questions related to export controls or potential conflicts of interest)	Research Integrity (e-mail)
