2. Welcome & Introductions Jennifer Easley Director, Sponsored Programs Administration Kacey Strickland Director, Research Compliance Neil Lewis Director, Research Security

3. Today’s Agenda • Overview • How We Work Together • Major Compliance Areas • Office of Research Security

4. Regulatory Compliance Per Wikipedia: Regulatory compliance describes the goal that corporations or public agencies aspire to achieve in their efforts to ensure that personnel are aware of and take steps to comply with relevant laws and regulations.

5. So Many Rules to Follow… • Office of Management & Budget (OMB) • Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) • Other Federal, State, Agency, and University Requirements • Award Terms & Conditions

8. Office of Research Compliance

9. Research Compliance …is dedicated to achieving recognition through integrity. Every researcher and member of a research team contributes toward this objective.

10. Regulatory Areas • Human Research Protections Program (IRB) • Animal Care and Use (IACUC) • Financial Conflict of Interest (CIRC) • Biosafety (IBC) • Radiological Safety (RCLS)

12. HUMAN RESEARCH PROTECTIONS PROGRAM and the IRB: Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research

13. HUMAN RESEARCH PROTECTION PROGRAM …protecting the rights, welfare, and well-being of the subjects Significant events impacting regulations: 1946 Nuremburg Military Tribunal 1960’s Thalidomide Tragedy 1972 Tuskegee Syphilis Study Expose

14. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS • U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP) • “Common rule” • Requires Federal Wide Assurance • Food and Drug Administration (FDA) • regulates devices, drugs, biologics • Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)

15. WHAT REQUIRES IRB APPROVAL? IRB Approval Is Needed Only When Human Subjects Research Is Being Conducted. • Research means a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. - AND - • Human subjectmeans a living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains: • (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual, or • (2) identifiable private information.

16. PI RESPONSIBILITIES • Priorto initiating research: • Contact HRPP Staff • Attend IRB training • Live training or online training through CITI Program • Training must be renewed every three years • Submit IRB application • Obtain written IRB approval

17. PI RESPONSIBILITIES • During the conduct of research: • Respect the rights of human subjects • Adhere to the approved protocol • Submit modification request form • prior to initiating any changes • Submit continuing review request form • Promptly report any adverse events or unanticipated problems

18. It’s a rather interesting phenomenon. Every time I press this lever, that post-doc breathes a sigh of relief.

19. ANIMAL RESEARCH and theIACUC: Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee

20. ANIMALS IN RESEARCH “Proper use of animals, including the avoidance or minimization of discomfort, distress, and pain when consistent with sound scientific practices, is imperative.” -U.S. Government Principles for the Utilization and Care of Vertebrate Animals Used in Testing, Research, and Training , IV

22. ANIMAL CARE REGULATIONS • USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service • Implements the Animal Welfare Act via the Animal Welfare Regulations • DHHS, Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare • Implements the Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals • Requires an Animal Welfare Assurance • AAALAC • Voluntary accreditation (CVM and A&S only)

23. In the United States… • institutions that use laboratory animals for research or instructional purposes must establish an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) to oversee and evaluate all aspects of the institution's animal care and use program. • and provide these animals with “adequate veterinary care.”

24. PI RESPONSIBILITIES • Prior to initiating research: • Obtain training either online or live session (must be renewed every 4 years) • Complete online OHSP forms • update when changes occur • Submit IACUC application • after pre-review by IACUC member and consultation with LAV • Obtain written IACUC approval • Have facilities certified by IACUC

25. PI RESPONSIBILITIES • During the conduct of research: • Submit annual update form • Submit amendment form prior to any changes occurring • Monitor compliance of project personnel with approved protocol

26. Say hello, everyone, to Bert Phelps. He’ll be taking the job of Security Manager for the entire Poultry Products Division!

27. Financial Conflict of Interest and the CIRC: Conflict of Interest Review Committee Integrity of research Outside activities

28. Conflict of Interest: a situation in which financial or other personal considerations have the potential to compromise or bias professional judgment and objectivity.

29. FCOI Regulations • Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for which PHS Funding is Sought (42 CFR Part 50, Subpart F) • National Science Foundation’s Investigator Disclosure Policy, 60 F.R. 132, pp. 35810-823 • MSU Policy and Procedure Statement on Financial Conflict of Interest in Sponsored Activities (OP 79.09)

30. In a Nutshell “…investigators [must] disclose any financial conflicts of interest related to the proposed research, or certify that no conflict exists, at the time of proposal submission.”
