研究合规

The Office of 研究 and Graduate Studies serves as the hub for UIW's research compliance operations. These operations include the Human 研究 Protection Program, Institutional Review Board for human subjects research, clinical trial registration, responsible conduct of research, the conflict of interest program, and university research policy implementation and management.

We conduct on-demand training as needed and review proposals and active projects for continued compliance.

Summer 2021 IACUC Service Center Agreement

UIW does not operate a research animal use program. To fulfill the needs of extramurally funded research projects involving laboratory animals, UIW has entered into a Service Center Agreement with an AAALAC-accredited animal care program in San Antonio. The agreement includes protocol review and management, access to animal care facilities at the host program, UIW facility inspection, and training of UIW personnel. The agreement expires on Aug. 31, 2024.
