Advisory Committees


The Office of the Vice President for Research values responsible and ethical practices that align with compliance and regulation policies. The importance of honesty and transparency is essential to conducting responsible quality research. Our advisory committees are composed of compliance experts in their fields and distinguished faculty, among others, to help researchers stay on course when conducting transformative research that will result in groundbreaking discoveries in all fields of study.

Some of these committees oversee a mix of research activities such as animal protocols, human subjects research, radiation safety, conflict of interest when conducting research, and more.
