Regulatory Compliance Administration

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has agreements with and receives funding from a number of governmental, and not-for-profit agencies that fund research.  These legally binding agreements or grants require that all research conducted on campus regardless of funding source, be reviewed by an appropriate regulatory committee.  This process protects research participants, researchers, students, research resources, and CMU's research environment.

The Regulatory Compliance Administration (RCA) represents the CMU community's commitment to responsible research.  RCA is the centralized office overseeing the primary compliance areas of:

  • Research involving human participants (IRB) 
  • Research involving animals (IACUC)
  • Research involving recombinant DNA (IBC)
  • Conflicts of Interest (COI)
  • Responsible Conduct of Research
