Given the continuously changing research environment, central and departmental administrators have had to equip themselves with the latest information in order to respond to and manage their institutional research efforts. Research administrators must familiarize themselves with the various research compliance areas that will impact their daily activities, such as research integrity, conflict of interest, protection of human subjects, care and use of animals in research, use of hazardous agents and recombinant DNA. To assist with daily decision-making, this program will include information on regulatory requirements and recent developments in relation to research compliance. Institutions can benefit by learning how others are adapting to the continuously changing research environment.
Learning Objectives
Participants will have a better understanding of the principles, requirements, and best practices in relation to:
- Research and scientific integrity
- Responsible conduct of research
- Care and use of laboratory animals
- Human subjects protection
- Use of hazardous materials, including rDNA
- Conflict of interest oversight update
