Research Compliance is multi-faceted and at times overwhelming. Whether your institution’s research is basic, clinical or translational in nature, there are rules, regulations, guidelines and sometimes just plain old best practices that need to be learned and followed. If not, the consequences can be dire for researchers, staff, institutions, and the public at large. The two-day program is geared for those charged with developing policy, monitoring compliance, investigating misconduct, and/or providing training. Participants will learn how to best manage research regulatory compliance aspects of grants and contracts administration and gain a more in-depth understanding of what is required to stay in step with the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

Day Two will focus on identifying the various compliance review committees that exist at your institution (i.e., IRB, IACUC, IBC, ESCRO), the reasons to accurately record and track compliance information within your grants management system and why that is essential for the health of your research enterprise. We will then discuss financial conflicts of interest and commitment and why transparency is the key to success. The day will end with an interactive session on dealing with difficult people and compliance situations.

Day One will explore “Tales from the Compliance Crypt” - real-life things that have happened when the research compliance systems failed. Then we will look at Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training and how to make a program substantive even if it is mandated. Finally we will look at a day in the life of a Research Integrity Officer (RIO) and how to recognize the threat of research misconduct and what prevention mechanisms can be put in place to help safeguard your institution.
