The Stanford Administrative Panels for Research Compliance report to the President through the Office of the Vice Provost and Dean of Research. Their purpose is to assure the University's compliance with federal regulations of research activities through the review of proposals and, in some cases, facilities involving the use of

• human subjects in medical or nonmedical research
• laboratory animals
• biologically infectious agents
• recombinant DNA materials, or
• radiological hazards.

In addition, the Panels assess current policies and their implementation and may recommend new policies within the Panels' province.

For general information about these Panels, see the Stanford policy on Administrative Panels for Research Compliance, or contact Stanford's Research Compliance Director.
