Bridging the Research and Compliance Communities

The cornerstones of modern research are collaboration, agility, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Yet institutions increasingly face expanding and rigorous security compliance regimes from both sponsoring agencies and commercial partners. Many universities are struggling to marry new security compliance obligations with active research programs, while avoiding throttling scientific exploration. Achieving this requires shedding historical preconceptions of compliance and security, and a broader understanding of the research mission. This interactive panel explores successes and challenges of Northwestern University and University of California, San Diego when handling research compliance projects. Learn how to cultivate a culture with a shared vision for the research and compliance partnership.
