Welcome to the Office of Research Integrity |
| The Office of Research Integrity’s (ORI) mission is to foster a high standard of ethical behavior by promoting integrity in research and teaching while ensuring a safe and productive work environment. Through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and key committees, ORI serves as the primary resource for faculty, staff, and students to educate, evaluate, and interpret policies on research integrity and the responsible conduct of research. Although the responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the research record lies predominantly with the researchers themselves, we are dedicated to proactive, preventive measures to promote and support integrity, compliance, and accountability across all research areas. |
