The Office of Research Protections (ORP) aids investigators in designing and performing research studies so they meet current ethical standards and conform to all applicable laws and regulations.

The units that comprise the ORP accomplish this goal through education, prospective review of research protocols, consultations with investigators, and monitoring of ongoing studies.
