Responsible Conduct of Research

Learn about responsible conduct of research early in your graduate career, before you begin your research!

Along with your advisor and department, the Office of Responsible Conduct of Research will guide you with regard to the many regulations regarding the ethical conduct of research. 

You will want to visit this page to find out more about Human and Animal Protection, Biosafety, Chemical safety, Conflict of Interest, Export controls, Health Information Privacy, Radiation Control and much more.  Their site gives the latest updates of university and national policies.

The Office of Responsible Conduct of Research provides training as well as all the necessary forms to have your proposed research reviewed.

In addition, they host a UA Ethics and Compliance Hotline where you can submit confidential and anonymous complaints.
