Integrity and Compliance

Utah State University strives to perform world-class research in an ethical and compliant way. The Research Integrity & Compliance Office (RIC) supports that goal by providing USU researchers with oversight, guidance, and support in the areas of conflict of interest, responsible conduct of research (RCR), export controls, foreign influence, and research misconduct.

Compliance Updates

  • All outgoing international shipments must now go through USU’s Required International Shipment Review process. This process helps ensure outgoing materials meet U.S. export control laws. Please review our International Shipments webpage for more information.
  • We have added an RCR Refresher course to the CITI training options. Anyone needing to renew their RCR credentials can take this course instead of retaking the original RCR course.
  • RIC is now on Threads and Instagram (@usu.ric). Follow us for RIC-related news and resources.
