1 0 UMOR Strengthening the Culture of Compliance While Minimizing Faculty Burden Lois Brako Assistant Vice President for Research – Regulatory and Compliance Oversight

2 1 U-M Task Forces and Audits: 2013 – Biologics Oversight Task Force Report 2014 – U-M Internal Audit of General Laboratory Safety 2014 – U-M Internal Audit of Export Controls External Site Visits: 2012 – CDC Site Visit 2013 – DEA Audits of Controlled Substances 2014 – Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) Site Visit, AAALAC Reaccreditation for Animal Research, USDA Site Visit Ongoing FDA Audits These have all identified gaps in U-M oversight that could place university researchers, research funding, and institutional reputation at risk. Recent Evaluations of Compliance Oversight

3 2 National Academies FDP 2005 and 2012 Faculty Workload Surveys found that: Researchers spend an average of 42% of their time on administrative requirements This takes away from time conducting actual research What does this mean for U-M? While no increase in administrative burden was observed at the national level, UM faculty complain about increased administrative and compliance requirements. 42% research workload translates into hundreds of millions of dollars every year being spent by PI on administrative tasks instead of actual research. The Research Policy Committee will conduct a survey study of UM faculty administrative burden.

4 3 U-M’s Research Compliance Commitment U-M is nationally known as a lead institution supporting the reduction of regulatory burden for researchers while maintaining a high standard of regulatory compliance. UMOR Compliance faculty and staff help direct efforts to reduce burden by participating in leadership roles and activities in national organizations, including: The Council on Governmental Relations (CoGR) The Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) The National Research Council (NRC) The American Association of Medical Schools (AAMC) Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R), and American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS)

5 4 Regulatory Change – Additional Burden Over the last few years, significant federally-mandated administrative burdens have been imposed on the research community, including: New NIH guidelines for animal research Expanded conflict of interest reporting New regulations for biological agents and toxins Export control regulation reform Other major regulatory changes include oversight of dual use research of concern, new requirements for registration of clinical trials, and making datasets and publications publicly available

11 10 Minimizing PI Burden Major PI challenges: Understanding everything that is required of them Having the time and tools to fulfill those requirements UMOR efforts: Coordinated communications and messaging Improved guidance and training Efficient, streamlined business processes Robust eResearch system Integrated PI workspace to track all requirements

12 11 Leadership commitment and support Education and training Leverage IT technologies Strengthening the Culture of Compliance
