Program/Unit Description:
Over the past decade, the University of Minnesota has developed and implemented several independent research compliance and oversight programs within the Office of the Vice President for Research, all of which have earned a reputation as strong, effective and beneficial programs. However, it has become clear that to maximize the effectiveness of these research compliance operations in the OVPR, it is necessary to have them organized such that their functions can integrate seamlessly among themselves and also be able to interface effectively with the growing network of compliance partners and responsibilities across the campus. To accomplish this, the Vice President for Research has created the Research Integrity and Oversight office which will oversee all OVPR compliance functions and organize them operationally such that they can interact effectively with each other, optimizing the effectiveness of their individual areas of responsibility, and providing the most efficient operation possible given the ever changing and complex regulatory environment.
