Who We Are

Research Compliance provides faculty, staff and student support related to human, animal, and recombinant DNA research. Each unit (IRB, IACUC, IBC and PAVE) is charged with the responsibility to formulate and implement procedures to assure UTEP’s compliance with federal, state, and institutional regulations for safeguarding the welfare and well-being of humans and animals involved in research, in which UTEP is engaged or otherwise exercises oversight. The Laboratory Animal Resources Center (LARC) supports research investigators and their team members by providing animal husbandry and veterinary care, upholding animal welfare, maintaining good regulatory standing, and striving for accreditation. Together with Research Compliance, the department is instrumental in supporting the advancement of science, medicine, and biotechnology development.
