The Office of Research Protections (ORP) has developed a checklist for investigators who are leaving the University of Pittsburgh. Departing investigators should consult with their department administrators to ensure all steps are completed in addition to any school-specific or department-specific requirements.
The checklist covers the following topics:
- General Procedures for Closing Laboratories
- Radiation-Producing Devices and Materials
- Studies Using Animal Subjects
- Studies Using Recombinant DNA
- Studies Using Human Subjects
- Studies Conducted Under an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Application
- Studies Approved by the Human Stem Cell Research Oversight Committee (hSCRO)
- Fiscal Matters, including grants, contracts, and potential transfer of materials
- Intellectual Property and Rights in Data
- Studies Registered on ClinicalTrials.gov
