Research Integrity and Compliance
The 91²Ö¿â is dedicated to the highest standards of research integrity. The university’s guidelines and procedures promote those standards in the care for people and animals that are the subjects of research, as well as in maintaining confidentiality, adhering to protocols, and preventing research misconduct.
Area of Research
91²Ö¿â’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs coordinates training and provides oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to students, faculty and staff members.
Human subjects research at 91²Ö¿â is regulated by University regulations to ensure that all research carried out under the auspices of 91²Ö¿â conform to ethical standards.
Allegations of Research Misconduct should be reported to the Research Integrity Officer (RIO).
91²Ö¿â Institutional Care and Use Committee (IACUC) oversees the University’s animal program, facilities, and projects involving the use of animals.
Work supported by externally funded awards will be free from bias resulting from financial conflicts of interest of project personnel.
Through membership in the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) of the University of Miami, online course modules are available to 91²Ö¿â faculty, staff, students and collaborators.
