Welcome
The mission of the Office of Research Compliance (ORC) is to support and promote ethical research practices at The Ohio State University. ORC serves the OSU research community by coordinating institution-wide research compliance policy and procedure development, and by partnering with researchers, so that the University is compliant with federal, state, and local laws and regulations as well as University policies.
How we accomplish our mission
