Our research compliance program is committed to ensuring our researchers carry out their education and research projects in compliance with all relevant laws, regulations, university policies and core values.
We are here to answer questions and offer guidance on research compliance. We also provide timely notification of research compliance updates at the federal, state and university level. These solutions include:
- Providing a governance structure that engages researchers and key administrative stakeholders in support of research activity.
- Developing clear and understandable policies and procedures (SOPs)
- Offering specific and actionable education and training
- Undertaking continuous risk assessment
- Performing regular monitoring
- Communicating regulatory changes and updates from the federal, state, and university levels.
In so doing, the research compliance program acts as a key partner to support the continued growth and expansion of USC’s world-class research enterprise.
