Welcome to MeRTEC!

MeRTEC is committed to helping navigate regulatory compliance through partnerships and training.

Training for compliance personnel charged with monitoring new laws and regulations?

• We have the trainings for you!  In collaboration with the Maine School of Law, employees can obtain a Certificate of Compliance by participating in an on-line training program beginning January 2022.

Navigating ethical gray areas?

• Our Ethical Decision-Making Training helps reduce liability and lower instances of misconduct.  This training identifies features of ethical reasoning that go far deeper than conventional approaches to ethical violations in research fields. In the end, participants walk away with tools, models, and a framework which will give them the knowledge and personal understanding to help navigate the often-turbulent waters of ethical decision-making.

Seeking to promote research, integrity, and compliance  in the ethical and responsible conduct of research?
