The Clinical and Human Subjects Research Compliance Oversight Committee meets quarterly with a goal of building and cultivating an integrated approach to research risk mitigation and advancing ethical, safe, and compliant practices of researchers and staff.

Participation provides an opportunity for the separately functioning research compliance offices and the UI Health system to come together and discuss the program’s effectiveness and critical risk areas.

Guiding Principles

  • To encompass all research compliance areas to support the university’s commitment to research.
  • To collaborate with the university’s research community to develop consistent, clear, and well-integrated compliance policies and processes.
  • To ensure that research compliance expectations are communicated to the entire research community.
  • To provide reports to leadership that are comprehensive and provide a clear and accurate assessment of the health of research compliance at the university.
