Research Integrity and Compliance
Chapman University is committed to a culture of research excellence and strives to
provide a strong foundation for the implementation, maintenance and assessment of
all essential research compliance activities. All research activities undertaken by
faculty, staff, and students at Chapman will be conducted in accordance with strict
ethical principles and in compliance with federal, state and institutional regulations
and policies. The Office of Research works with faculty oversight committees to promote
the ethical and responsible conduct of research and to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements relating to research involving human and vertebrate animal subjects,
recombinant DNA, biohazards, radioactive materials, responsible conduct of research,
conflicts of interest, and U.S. export controls. The Office of Research provides resources
and support in the following areas:
Federal Training Requirements
Chapman University is committed to ensuring that all research activities supported
by federal funding are conducted with integrity and in compliance with applicable
federal regulations, grant terms and mandated training requirements. By reinforcing
these responsibilities, the university helps safeguard its eligibility for federal
support while promoting integrity and accountability in research.
Institutional Review Board (IRB)
Chapman University's authorized regulatory committee that reviews, approves, denies
and provides ongoing oversight of all research involving human subjects in accordance
with OHRP and FDA regulations.
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
Chapman University's IACUC is charged with evaluating the ethical and scientific merit
of research investigations and teaching activities that involve animal subjects.
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
As defined by the NSF and NIH, the Responsible Conduct of Research is the practice
of scientific investigation with integrity. The University oversees training of graduate
and undergraduate students on the application of established professional norms and
ethical principles in the performance of all activities related to scientific research,
including those funded by federally sponsored grants.
Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI)
Chapman University maintains a Financial Conflict of Interest policy to promote objectivity
in teaching and research and to ensure the appropriate management of actual, perceived
or potential conflicts of interest by all senior or key research personnel conducting
research.
Research Security
Research security refers to safeguarding the research enterprise against threats such
as the misappropriation of research and technology, violations of research integrity
or foreign government interference. Appropriate attention to research security ensures
that taxpayer-funded research remains protected while maintaining the openness necessary
for effective and innovative scientific collaboration.
Export Controls
The U.S. government controls exports of sensitive equipment, software and technology
as a means to promote our national security interests and foreign policy objectives.
Chapman University and its employees are required to comply with applicable export
control laws and regulations.
Foreign Influence
Chapman University has recently observed heightened awareness and increased activity
related to the issue of foreign influence in academia within the federal government
and amongst peer institutions. Federal funding agencies have issued new requirements
and guidance regarding how the academic research community should be responding to
this evolving issue. This Foreign Influence webpage is to provide Chapman researchers
general information and awareness tools to better understand the evolving compliance
landscape.
