resources and education for integrity and compliance issues
relating to the conduct of research at the University of
California, Riverside. The Office of Research Integrity carries out
its responsibilities by:
- Monitoring and making recommendations concerning ethical,
professional, federal, state and other (e.g. international)
policies or requirements relating to research, whether proposed or
in effect;
- Creating and maintaining the UCR research integrity and
compliance infrastructure;
- Educating and training researchers in the responsible conduct
of research and research compliance;

Research Responsibility
Research activities are governed by a number of regulatory and
compliance committees imposed by federal and state laws.
Non-compliance can result in penalties to the institution and the
individual. It is the responsibility of any member of the UCR
community conducting research to be familiar with university
policies as they relate to these research compliance areas.
