Overview of ORA
- ra.wsu.edu
- ORA (est. 2002) is part of the overall effort of WSU to ensure
responsible conduct of research.
- We work collaboratively with researchers and staff to stay in
compliance with applicable internal and external policies and regulations.
- By staying in compliance we avoid funding delays, funding
denials, unpublished research, and - in some cases fines - jail.
Introduction
Our philosophy is centered on customer service and helping PI’s and departments navigate the labyrinth of laws and policies that affect research at WSU.
