Office of Research and Innovation
NC State’s Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) supports the research, scholarship, and creative activities of the university community by promoting collaborative research and an innovative environment.

Responsible Conduct of Research Training
It is imperative that all postdoctoral scholars talk with their principal investigators (PIs) about the lab/safety/compliance training that are applicable to their program. Additionally, postdocs should review and complete the Research Compliance Trainings offered through the university’s Office of Research and Innovation (ORI).
