Research Policies

The Office of the Executive Vice President for Research compiles handbooks and policies related to research compliance.

Research compliance is generally handled by Columbia's Office of the Executive Vice President for Research (EVPR), which oversees research activities at all Columbia schools. The Clinical Trials Office, Environmental Health and Safety, Human Research Protection, IACUC, and several other regulatory bodies are managed by the EVPR. Policies governing major research activities are available on the EVPR's website:

  • Sponsored Projects Handbook
  • Animal Research Handbook
  • Clinical Research Handbook
  • Research Radiation Safety Handbook
  • Postdoctoral Officers Handbook
