If you have a general question on compliance or would like to discuss a concern within Research Administration at Stanford University, you can contact Ken Schulz, Director of Research Administration Policy and Compliance, at 725-1733.

Stanford University takes very seriously compliance with federal and local laws, contract and grant obligations, and standards of integrity, quality, and ethics. If you feel there has been a violation of one of these principles, laws and or regulations, section nine of the Code of Conduct outlines a hierarchy of contacts for you to report your concerns. Concerns should normally be made initially through standard management channels, beginning with your immediate supervisor, instructor or advisor. If for any reason it is not appropriate to report suspected violations to your immediate supervisor (e.g., the suspected violation is by the supervisor) you may go to a higher level of management within your school or department. All violations of laws or regulations should be reported internally to the Institutional Compliance Helpline website, or email to [email protected], or phone 650/721-2667. If you wish, you can also contact the Office of the General Counsel at 650/723-9611. You can view the complete Code of Conduct on the web.
