* Compliance notices are the primary method by which the OVPRI informs the VCU research community of research-related changes and of adjustments to research operations and requirements across the university. In general, compliance notices do not include a definitions section. For definitions of terms, please see the glossary of research terms. Draft notices open for comment will be sent via the RES-ADM listserv. Archived compliance notices will be kept on the OVPRI internal shared drive for a minimum of one year, at which time the documents may be purged completely. If an archived compliance notice is needed, contact rescomply@vcu.edu.
