  The Research Integrity and Compliance Office will review submitted protocols within seven business days and may contact researchers for clarification or additional information. Once assigned, the reviewer, EHS representative, or veterinarian will have up to seven business days to complete their review and communicate any required revisions or requests for additional information. Email notifications will be sent through the IRBManager system or irb-iacuc@radford.edu throughout the review process.

RICO: Supporting Excellence in Human and Animal Research

decor

The Research Integrity and Compliance Office (RICO) supports Radford University’s commitment to excellence in research by helping faculty, staff, and students navigate ethical and regulatory requirements with confidence. RICO provides oversight and support for the Institutional Review Board (IRB), Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), Export Control, and Research Integrity programs, while promoting compliance, integrity, and responsible research practices across the university. Our goal is to help researchers navigate requirements with confidence so they can focus on achieving their research goals.
