Welcome to the new Office of Regulatory Research Website

Our office will be closed Monday, February 20, for President's Day

The mission of the Office of Regulatory Research Compliance (ORRC) is to ensure that all research involving animals, human subjects, and recombinant DNA conform to all applicable laws and regulations. These laws and regulations protect research subjects and the reputation of the research done at this institution.

ORRC staff and resources are available to assist you and to ensure that we are all in compliance with the relevant policies and procedures for research conducted under the auspices of the University at Albany.

Research activities that can reasonably be conducted "under the auspices" of the University at Albany are defined as follows:

a) research activities that are conducted by, or under the direction of, University at Albany faculty, staff, administrators, or students, whether the project is funded externally, internally, or receives no funding; and

b) said research activities are conducted in fulfillment of duties of his/her University at Albany employment, as part of course credit at University at Albany, or in fulfillment of a University at Albany degree requirement.

Please verify this site regularly and/or contact our staff to learn about research compliance activities and educational programming.
