UW Research Compliance - Hundreds of federal and state laws and regulations – many with complex data-collection, reporting, and auditing requirements – govern nearly every aspect of research. The goals are broad: protect government, universities, investigators, and the public; prevent fraud, waste and abuse; minimize risk; and, ultimately, ensure appropriate stewardship of externally funded grants and contracts.
