All investigators --faculty, professional and scientific staff, undergraduate and graduate students-- with either internal or external funding, must obtain approval from the appropriate research compliance review committee(s) before initiating any work on the project and before the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) will process the award.
