Regulators
are focusing more attention than ever on the diverse group of federal
rules that fall under the umbrella of "research compliance,"
which includes conflict of interest, human subjects, scientific misconduct,
tech transfer, and security and biosafety issues such as select agents
and export controls. This collection of rapidly changing government requirements
-
Can
torpedo the reputation of even the most prestigious U.S. universities,
-
Ranges
widely from internal business issues (e.g., effort reporting) to grave
matters of international security (e.g., select agents missing from
your lab),
-
Can
have a very sudden impact on your funding and financial well-being,
-
Is
the focus of complex rules and penalties from a dozen federal agencies,
-
Is
under constant review on Capitol Hill, where political volleyballs
like conflicts of interest have a direct impact on colleges, universities
and teaching hospitals.
To
help research administrators manage these complicated issues and do their
jobs more effectively, NCURA and AIS co-publish Report on Research
Compliance, a unique three-part service that includes:
-
Monthly print newsletters (and free electronic [PDF] versions of the
monthly print newsletter) with practical news you can use on your
campus;
-
Weekly e-mail newsletters that report on recent events in
Washington; and
-
Access
to a password-protected Web site, with links to federal agencies
and pertinent documents, a library of past print and e-mail issues,
archives of individual articles arranged by subject, and a Web version of the 2007 NCURA/AIS book Regulation and Compliance, with summaries of more than 90 laws, regulations and other federal requirements applicable to sponsored programs.
With
offices located in downtown Washington, D.C., Report on Research
Compliance will track down the news you need from Capitol Hill,
HHS's Office of Inspector General, OMB, NSF, FDA, NASA, NIH, Office
of Human Research Protections, Office of Naval Research, Office of Laboratory
Animal Welfare, HHS Office of Research Integrity, the Departments of
Justice, Commerce, State
and wherever else compliance news breaks
in Washington that you need to know about.
In
addition to being among the first to read breaking compliance news,
you'll be armed with a quick analysis of what it means for you
and follow-up stories and Web-based content on options you should consider
for your compliance programs. This multi-media service is designed to
deliver the intelligence you need, how and when you need it.
