Compliance Guide

This Guide is intended to assist UB faculty and staff to find all information needed to understand and comply with federal, state and university regulations governing the conduct of research. Utilizing a general format developed by the University of Minnesota, the Guide addresses the compliance and regulatory issues that often arise in the course of Proposal Preparation, Award Receipt, Conducting Research and Award Closeout. The Guide identifies the office(s) that can help you conduct your research as efficiently and effectively as possible.

It is in the nature of such guides that new issues and variations on old ones will arise. Hence, we very much need your comments and suggestions on how it can be improved. After a trial period, a hardcopy of the Guide will be published for handy reference.

Thank you for using this Guide in the conduct of your research. We believe it will materially assist in navigating the regulatory channels that are essential to ethical and effective research.
