We are committed to strengthening regulatory compliance and ethics training and developing an educated workforce. |
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE IS COMPLICATED
Regulatory compliance can change how you do business. Non-compliance presents risk that can lead to fines, or worse, litigation.

EXTERNAL IRB REVIEWS
USM’s Office of Research Integrity and Outreach (ORIO) is offering reviews of non-USM research projects.
For many institutions, it is not practical to maintain a standing review committee, yet external funding requires formal IRB approval. If you are an institution or investigator in need of a review by a federally registered IRB with a federal-wide assurance, USM's Office of Research Integrity and Outreach can help.
