Research institutions are obligated by law to uphold numerous standards for the ethical conduct of research. In recent years, these requirements have been lumped under the heading "research compliance" and many institutions have created positions that deal solely with regulatory compliance in research. This workshop will provide an introductory survey of the research compliance landscape, covering topics with which any research administrator, whether in central administration or a department, should be acquainted. Topics include: scientific integrity, the care and use of animals; the protection of human subjects' rights and welfare; the use of hazardous agents and recombinant DNA; disclosure and management of real and perceived conflicts of interest; and the use of human embryonic stem cells.
