The Office of Research Compliance (ORC) is under the direction of Stephanie C. Guzik, MBA, BSN, RN. The ORC functions within the corporate compliance department. The office promotes a culture of compliance, research integrity and high quality research within the Rush community. Oversight of the regulatory, ethical and compliance aspects of all research conducted at RUMC is a complex, multidimensional undertaking, and the ORC divides the responsibility for managing these dimensions across operational areas. Although collaboration and consultation among the areas is a daily occurrence, each operational area has primary responsibility for a specific regulatory or compliance area within the institution.
