The Research Integrity & Compliance Conference 2023 is the first conference event in the State of Montana designed to address the needs and concerns of Montana stakeholders on research compliance related topics. This conference intends to be inclusive of all Montana research communities, institutions, and professionals who are engaged in research compliance.
Conference attendees will benefit from the practiced skills and first-hand knowledge of speakers representing various interests across Montana, allowing participants to increase their understanding of relevant issues and emerging topics facing the community. Break-out sessions will allow participants to raise questions, discuss case studies, and share experiences in a small group setting. The gathering will also provide participants a platform to network and dialogue with fellow Montana colleagues.
The 2023 Research Integrity & Compliance Conference will have three primary tracks: 1) Environmental Health & Laboratory Safety, 2) Research Compliance Committees, and 3) Research Integrity & Ethics for Researchers and Students. These tracks recognize the diverse aims of regulatory and ethics focused groups often tasked to harmonize and work in collaboration. We have designated these focus areas with the goal of providing this conference opportunity to as many Montana stakeholders to attend and contribute as possible.
