Culture of Compliance: What is it and How to Develop One 

October 8, 2024
2:00 – 3:30 pm ET * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm ET * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!

The term “Research Compliance” has become an integral part of research management vocabulary. Research compliance requirements cover a myriad of federal, state, local, and international regulatory and ethical rules and standards as well as institutional and funder policies that govern the entire life cycle of a research project. A successful compliance program is made stronger and more effective when the compliance requirements are seen as a “shared responsibility” where all individuals involved life cycle of a research project (i.e., the inception of the project; proposal preparation and submittal; acceptance and management of the awards; the conduct of the research and reporting of its finding; and close-out), clearly understand their role and the importance “doing the right thing” to ensure compliance with regulatory and ethical requirements seamlessly. To navigate this ever-changing environment, it is important for institutions to focus on developing a “culture of compliance” by creating an organizational environment where following regulatory and ethical obligations is a highly valued expectation. In this webinar we will discuss this concept in greater detail and discuss practical ideas on how to achieve a true “Culture of Compliance”.

  • It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge or Safari.  
  • Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
  • Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
  • We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
  • It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
  • Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
