Research Compliance

 
 
 

Education


The mission of the Office of Research Compliance is to ensure University compliance with federal, state and local regulations with regard to research. The creation and implementation of targeted education programs is key to this mission and is an essential service that we provide to our academic community, as well as our community at large.

Training in research ethics should not be limited to those new to research. Therefore, our programs have been developed to address the needs of those just entering the world of research, like graduate students, to our most seasoned investigators. In addition, our education programs address a wide variety of research issues from social science to biomedical research.

Research Seminar Series

Our affiliated offices provide educational opportunities on topics including human subject protection and research responsibilities. Seminars are led by experienced, industry-leading professionals at various locations on campus and at affiliated institutions in Northeast Ohio. Many seminars listed on our Research Seminar Series online calendar are approved for continuing research education credits (CREC).

The intent of this seminar series is to aid researchers in understanding the grants and contracts process, as well as the regulatory requirements. Our goal is to aid all members of the research community in promoting ethical scientific discovery. Click here to see our current Research Seminar Series online calendar.


Research Regulator

Research Regulator is a quarterly newsletter produced by the Office of Research Compliance designed to disseminate to our community the most current and important information regarding the protection of human subjects in research. Each issue includes a one-credit CREC quiz, which can be completed online. If an investigator reads Research Regulator and completes the quiz on a quarterly basis, he or she will earn the required credits to become automatically CREC-recertified every three years.
