Research Compliance

The Office of Research Compliance supports ethical and compliant research involving human participants and animal subjects at OHIO. We oversee the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), ensuring all research meets federal, state, and institutional standards. We also manage the Cayuse Human Ethics and Cayuse Animal Oversight modules, which serve as the online platforms for submitting, reviewing, and tracking IRB and IACUC protocols. Additionally, we oversee the Conflict of Interest in Sponsored Programs process and the Outside Interests module in Cayuse, which facilitates the disclosure and management of financial and personal interests to ensure transparency and integrity in research.
