Research Compliance Office
Welcome to the Research Compliance Office at Creighton University. Our mission is to ensure University compliance with federal, state, and local regulations regarding research.
The mission of the Research Compliance Office is rooted in the Catholic and Jesuit principles that guide the institution as a whole. Programs address the needs of all our researchers, from those just entering the world of research, like students, to our most seasoned investigators.
This web site provides information on the University's Research Compliance regulatory function. The Creighton University Research Compliance Plan provides the University community with an overview of research compliance issues, roles and responsibilities, and how they relate to research and sponsored program activities at Creighton University. You will also find information on each of the University research regulatory oversight offices, committees, and boards.
