The senior research compliance administrator has emerged as a critically important position as universities and other research organizations face an increasingly intricate regulatory environment. These administrators are tasked with a special challenge: ensuring that their institutions conduct safe, ethical, and compliant research while also helping researchers understand and meet compliance requirements and achieve their research goals. These competing responsibilities can make the role of the research administrator complex; however, those who serve in this role may find that they have limited preparation for the challenges and little or no formal education in the field. Thus, the goal of this handbook is to provide practical guidance to research administrators who are responsible for a wide variety of compliance programs. Previous volumes on these topics have focused primarily on educating research faculty, staff, and students. An assumption in many of these handbooks is that all additional questions related to research ethics and regulations should be directed to the senior research administrator; yet, the books have limited guidance intended for the senior research administrators themselves. This handbook is designed, therefore, to serve as a detailed program implementation manual for these administrators, who are expected to be conversant on a broad range of complex ethical and regulatory topics and to provide guidance to those conducting research, as well as upper administration and others interested in safe, ethical, and compliant research.

Research Regulatory Compliance offers the latest information on regulations and compliance in the laboratory. With the increasing complexity of regulations and need for institutional infrastructure to deal with compliance of animal use issues, as well as a requirement surrounding human subjects, this publication provides reputable guidance and information. The book is extremely helpful as a resource for researchers, administrators, and technicians in the laboratory, and is also a great asset for faculty or new researchers coming in to the laboratory environment. It will help prepare users for the deluge of regulatory and compliance issues they will face while conducting their scientific programs. The book is edited and authored by known leaders in the field of compliance and regulations, and contains extensive research on the topics. It represents the new standard for information in every laboratory. - Provides a "one-stop" , go-to resource for the many regulatory and compliance issues that affect laboratory study and research models - Extremely helpful as a resource for researchers, administrators, and technicians in the laboratory, and also a great asset for faculty or new researchers coming in to the laboratory environment - Focuses on United States regulations, covering both animal models and human subjects - Written and edited by known leaders in the field of regulatory compliance who bring many years of collective experience to the book

The integrity of knowledge that emerges from research is based on individual and collective adherence to core values of objectivity, honesty, openness, fairness, accountability, and stewardship. Integrity in science means that the organizations in which research is conducted encourage those involved to exemplify these values in every step of the research process. Understanding the dynamics that support â€" or distort â€" practices that uphold the integrity of research by all participants ensures that the research enterprise advances knowledge. The 1992 report Responsible Science: Ensuring the Integrity of the Research Process evaluated issues related to scientific responsibility and the conduct of research. It provided a valuable service in describing and analyzing a very complicated set of issues, and has served as a crucial basis for thinking about research integrity for more than two decades. However, as experience has accumulated with various forms of research misconduct, detrimental research practices, and other forms of misconduct, as subsequent empirical research has revealed more about the nature of scientific misconduct, and because technological and social changes have altered the environment in which science is conducted, it is clear that the framework established more than two decades ago needs to be updated. Responsible Science served as a valuable benchmark to set the context for this most recent analysis and to help guide the committee's thought process. Fostering Integrity in Research identifies best practices in research and recommends practical options for discouraging and addressing research misconduct and detrimental research practices.
