SCHOOL/UNIT DESCRIPTION:
Stanford University's Vice Provost and Dean of Research (VPDoR) organization is a central force in advancing the institution's research endeavors and fostering innovation across diverse disciplines. The organization is dedicated to supporting and promoting cutting-edge research that addresses global challenges, playing a crucial role in shaping the university's research strategy, overseeing interdisciplinary collaborations, and ensuring the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in research activities. In addition to driving research excellence, the VPDoR organization takes a proactive approach to managing potential conflicts of interest (COI) and conflicts of commitment (COC) among faculty members. The organization oversees the COI and COC reporting process, ensuring transparency and accountability. To streamline this process, Stanford utilizes the Outside Professional Activities Certification System (OPACS), accessible at opacs.stanford.edu. This system serves as a centralized platform for faculty members to disclose potential conflicts, allowing the VPDoR organization to assess and manage these situations effectively, thereby upholding the highest standards of research integrity at Stanford University.
