Research

WashU faculty and staff who execute clinical trials subject to the FDA policy, the NIH policy, or the ICMJE policy should register (or ensure the registration of) all trials as required.

Scholarly integrity and the responsible conduct and reporting of research are essential for maintaining public trust in the research enterprise, and for community benefit from research discovery.

WashU principal investigators or tissue repository staff are permitted to share blood and tissue samples with other investigators at WashU, investigators at different research institutions and private industry for research purposes, but only after appropriate informed consent has been obtained from the patients involved.
