Research Misconduct Policy

ORC Newsletter
In an effort to keep the Clemson University research community up to date on important IRB, IBC and IACUC information, the Office of Research Compliance (ORC) will issue a newsletter each semester. New and past newsletters will be available on the ORC website for your reference. If you have an idea for a topic you’d like us to cover, please share it with us.

The Spring/Summer 2008 issue has been posted and includes:

  • Department of Defense unique requirements
  • Responsible Conduct of Research online training
  • IACUC refresher training
  • Research Services seminar, "Animal Acquisition at Clemson University"
  • Non-Clemson personnel working on IACUC protocols
  • IACUC revised policies
  • Updated IBC forms
  • Material Safety Data Sheets
  • Transporting biohazardous materials
  • Retention of human subjects research materials by investigators
  • Health Sciences South Carolina collaborative IRB review process and forms
  • Differentiating sensitive participants from sensitive research

Proposals and Awards with Compliance Considerations
Effective October 1, 2006, sponsored program expenditure project numbers (to include risk project numbers) will not be established until compliance approvals are verified. If compliance considerations (ARC/IACUC, IRB, IBC) are indicated in the proposal, the PI will be alerted via email that compliance approval must be obtained before an expenditure account/project will be established. When OSP receives a request for establishment of a risk account project number or notice of an award, if compliance approval has not yet been obtained, the PI will again be reminded via email that an expenditure account/ project will not be established until compliance approval is obtained.

If definite procedures do not yet exist that would allow the PI to complete a full application for compliance review, developmental approval may be sought for short periods of time to develop those procedures. Expenditure project numbers may be established under developmental approval; however, no animal, human, recombinant DNA, or hazardous agent work may begin until full committee approval or exemption has been obtained. Forms for requesting developmental approval can be found in the committee specific sections of the ORC website. http://www.clemson.edu/research/orcSite/indexComply.htm

If you have questions, please contact your Grants Administrator or the relevant Compliance Coordinator.
