Key Information and Resource Links

The AIM-AHEAD Regulatory Compliance Office (RCO) is available to assist all consortium awardees through the regulatory processes for obtaining appropriate regulatory approvals for their research studies. We understand the unique challenges of navigating the regulatory landscape as these processes can vary from one institution to another or regulatory body to another. The RCO is your primary resource within the AIM-AHEAD consisting of regulatory and compliance subject matter experts with the experience and knowledge to help resolve any regulatory issue that arises.

AIM-AHEAD policy requires all awardees obtain documentations related to regulatory approvals/determinations  from an internal or external regulatory body for their research (Human Subject or Non Humans Subject) studies. Please note that you are still required to follow institutional policies in addition to AIM-AHEAD and NIH policies.

RCO provides one-on-one or group consultations over virtual meetings. Below are informational links regarding a wide range of topics, as well as quick reference links to regulatory literature for your convenience.
