Research Integrity & Compliance

ÃÛÌÒ½´Methodist University promotes a culture of compliance and ethical behavior while providing comprehensive regulatory guidance.

We strive to educate and advise SMU’s research community as to our obligations under local, state, and federal regulations, and university policies and procedures. Through the development of training and education, auditing and monitoring, and distribution of policies, procedures, and standards of conduct, we endeavor to promote a cooperative compliance culture at SMU.
