Introduction

A primary mission of the University of Pittsburgh is to nurture a climate that encourages and facilitates research. This Institution is strongly committed to the protection of research subjects, investigators, and the environment during the conduct of research. To that end, the University has compiled this Guide for Investigators.

This Guide contains a listing of offices and departments within the University that play a central role in the University's research mission. While these listings are not the only resources at the University, they are a key source of valuable information about support services, policies, procedures, and regulations related to the conduct of research. A reference table is provided at the beginning of this Guide so investigators can identify the requirements, as well as the University offices that oversee the requirements, that are applicable to their research. This Guide is intended to serve as a reference by which investigators may familiarize themselves with University policies, procedures, and resources related to research. Investigators should contact the cited offices to obtain detailed information about requirements and services.
