Who to Call, Where to Look

This site presents information on a number of issues related to the conduct of research and the management of sponsored projects. It cannot, however, answer all of the questions that may come up in the course of proposing and conducting research at UR.

PIs and others involved in the research enterprise need to know where to go to get answers to questions. UR's research policies and other resources are collected and organized online and in the ORPA Manual (currently under revision). Staff in your department and school have resources and training available in order to assist you and to provide knowledgeable guidance. Staff should contact ORPA to find out more about training opportunities.

Much of the information in the site focuses on audit issues. If you are contacted by an auditor, either from within UR or from an external organization, you should be aware of assistance provided by UR.

Thank you for your attention to this material, and for your research endeavors at the University of Rochester.
