Research Compliance Frameworks

The Research Compliance Frameworks module is designed to serve as a primer on the various compliance elements that help support effective grants management. Research compliance spans a wide range of complex subtopics making it difficult for most research administrators to gain mastery in any specific topic. Often grants administrators are not familiar with these compliance areas, and if they are, could benefit from a deeper understanding in order to help fulfill their responsibilities. This module will build the foundation necessary to understand research compliance and hopefully lead to increased job proficiency, effectiveness, and success for learners.

• Introduce learners to the compliance areas most commonly embedded in grants management.
• Gain a deeper understanding of the key principles of research compliance in grants management and grants congruency.
• Emphasize the importance of these compliance areas for protecting participants, organizations, and the larger community.
• Explore how adherence to these compliance touchpoints help contribute to an institutional culture of research integrity and sound financial stewardship.
• Develop a foundation in institutional policies and procedures regarding research compliance and foster effective communication to institutional stakeholders.
