Regulatory Services

Thank you for your interest in working with the UAHS Research Administration (RA) Regulatory team on your study! Regulatory coordination is a service that is available to any UAHS faculty member who is conducting human subjects research. To get started, please complete the first three pages of the Regulatory Startup Questionnaire and email to regulatory@arizona.edu.

Below is a brief overview of the study tasks that our team can perform for your study, as well as the tasks that remain the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) and study team. The PI has direct responsibility and oversight for the conduct and compliance of all aspects of the study. Our complete policy on Regulatory Management Responsibilities is available here
