FIU is committed to fostering an environment that promotes the adherence to applicable law, ethical principles, and professional standards while pursuing knowledge through research. ORED furthers this commitment to compliance by assisting FIU researchers with meeting professional, regulatory, and university requirements. Compliance in research covers a broad range from general guidelines about conducting research responsibly, to effort reporting requirements, to specific regulations governing a type of research such as human subjects research. This page features curated resources for researchers, students, and administrators to learn about key subject areas in research compliance.
Effort Reporting is our means of providing assurance to sponsors that salaries charged to sponsored projects are reasonable in relation to the work performed, and faculty and staff have met their commitments to sponsored projects.
Florida International University promotes objectivity in research by establishing and maintaining standards that require the design, conduct, and reporting of research conducted at the University, or on its behalf, be free from bias due to any Financial Conflict of Interest (COI).
Export control laws prohibit the export of certain items and information, or the export of items and information to certain destinations, without a license. The term “export” is defined to include the transmission of goods outside of the United States, as well as the transmission of information by any means to foreign nationals, whether in the U.S. or abroad. The scope of the regulations is broad: they cover exports in the fields of science, engineering, and technology, and apply to Florida International University (FIU) activities.
The University is committed to ensuring that sponsored projects are conducted free of fraud, waste and abuse and in accordance with applicable law, the award document and the sponsor’s requirements. The research community is advised of recently enacted whistleblower protections described in this section.

The university research community has a shared responsibility to ensure that all activities carried out at our institution are done in an atmosphere that is free of discrimination, harassment, exploitation or intimidation. FIU and our sponsoring agencies expect that we promote a safe and respectful environment in which all of our students, faculty and staff can carry out the critical research that they support. This section explores the critical expectations and requirements from a few of our major sponsors, including the NIH, NSF and NOAA.
