ORRC is located directly across from the Howard University Shaw Metro on 7th Seventh St.(Georgia Ave) on the third floor of the Howard University Research Building-1.
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is central to Howard University's mission and is an expectation of the research community at large.
The Office of Regulatory Research Compliance is involved in RCR in a number of ways including investigations into allegations of research misconduct, and acting as a resource to the Howard University research community.
The Associate Vice President for Research Compliance also serves as the Research Integrity Officer (RIO) for the university.
The Graduate School also requires that all graduate students complete RCR training. Successful completion of this requirement is necessary in order for graduate students to serve as student investigators on any research study.
