ORS Mission
This office helps researchers quickly assess risks, understand required actions and take next steps.
Federal export control laws are constantly changing and the rules can be complicated. We’ll help you recognize and navigate them to maintain compliance.
UB helps investigators identify and manage any potential financial conflicts of interest or significant obligations so we prevent bias and safeguard research objectivity.
Many federal and institutional compliance regulations require training, both in person or online, often before research can begin.
