Helpful Tips on Contacting the ORP

The ORP is here to assist with the research application and review process, serve as a liaison between research committees and principal investigators (PIs) and to promote outstanding research. To better serve our customers, the ORP highly recommends PIs call to make an appointment with a program administrator to discuss any questions they may have.

Although we do accept walk-ins, it is possible that there will be a wait before assistance is available. The ORP program administrators are often in meetings at various times during the day assisting other researchers, working on policies and regulations, etc.
