Research Compliance Responsibilities
A clear identification of roles and responsibilities in the oversight of sponsored research projects is critical to an effective compliance structure. URA, in consultation with numerous offices and individuals on campus, has prepared a Compliance Responsibility Matrix (DOC), along with a companion Roles and Responsibilities document, to serve as a reference and guide for all of the primary players in sponsored research activities.
Our goal is to equip all parties to the research endeavor with a fuller understanding of the compliance structure at the University, and each person’s specific role and responsibility within this enterprise. Strengthening compliance awareness will enable each of us to integrate our specific oversight responsibilities into the routine operational fabric of grants and contracts proposal and award management.
