Compliance
Researchers who are a part of the USG community are required to respect the highest ethical standards. Research integrity requires that principal investigators and others with a fiduciary obligation conduct research in a manner consistent with the grantor’s terms and conditions and applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Research involving human subjects shall be conducted only after appropriate review and approval by the institutional review board (IRB) and be conducted in accordance with IRB principles. To maintain the integrity of ongoing and future scientific endeavors, members of the research community must also collaborate with the Office of Sponsored Programs and Legal Affairs, Ethics and Compliance Division.
