Research Integrity and Compliance

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 and that research be conducted in accordance with regulations.  This process protects research participants, researchers, students, research resources, and CMU's research environment.

The Office of Research Integrity and Compliance represents the CMU community's commitment to responsible research.  This is the centralized office overseeing the primary compliance areas of:

• Research involving human participants (IRB) 
• Research involving animals (IACUC)
• Conflicts of Interest (COI)
• Export Compliance
• Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) - Research Ethics
