The Stanford Research Policy Handbook (RPH) serves as the authoritative source for current research policies. Stanford's policy process is managed by RPI. Individual policies are owned by Responsible Offices charged with developing, updating, administering, communicating, training, ensuring compliance with, and providing resources to promote adherence to university policies that it issues. The Associate Vice Provost for Research Policy and Integrity leads this work and reports to the Vice Provost and Dean of Research, David Studdert.
