3 and 4:
“3)
The Committee on Research shall participate in the initiation
and formulation of University policies bearing directly on academic
research encompassing all disciplines and shall direct such
participation towards facilitation of the performance of high
quality research. The
Committee shall devote special attention to the policies and
regulations deriving from sponsoring agencies providing funding
from sources outside the University and shall direct its attention
to the maintenance of a proper balance between the recognition

pursuit of appropriate research initiatives.
4)
The Committee on Research shall monitor the implementation of
existing research policy to determine status and adequacy.
Categories of interest to the Committee shall include,
but not be limited to, research involving human subjects, animal
experimentation, inventions and patents, copyrights, computer
resources, and biohazards. The Committee shall request regular annual reports
from such administrative committees as specifically deal with
these and other categories within the Committee’s purview and
shall maintain accurate and timely information with respects
to these categories. The Committee shall participate in an advisory
capacity in the selection of qualified members to serve on either
faculty or administrative committees dealing with the research-related
categories within its purview.”
