“In my view, the accreditation process was the best thing that could have happened to our program. The process has raised the level of awareness of administrators, faculty, and students. It also has driven a significant increase in our investment in compliance. We now have an Office of Research Support and Compliance that coordinates human subjects research, animal care and use, and biosafety. We have four coordinators for human subjects research, all of whom have a Ph.D. or medical degree.
