About Clinical Research Compliance

Clinical Research Compliance is part of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, Research Compliance Services. Our mission is to collaborate with the research community to foster innovation and effectiveness while maintaining a robust compliance program. The Clinical Research Compliance supports UNC-Chapel Hill’s goal of advancing scientific knowledge and safeguarding the rights, safety, and well-being of research participants locally, nationally, and internationally. We achieve this by:

• Supporting Sponsor-Investigators throughout the lifecycle of drug, device, and biologics development.
• Conducting post-approval reviews of clinical studies through the Clinical Trials Quality Assurance (CTQA) program.
• Ensuring compliance with ClinicalTrials.gov registration and results reporting.
• Engaging collaboratively in policymaking and program implementation to ensure adherence to federal, state, and institutional requirements.
