The R&DE employees are subject to the University Administrative Guide and the R&DE Policies and Procedures. The Administrative Guide is a reference manual of Stanford University administrative policies and can be accessed at http://adminguide.stanford.edu/.

The R&DE policies that are posted at this web site are approved by the Senior Associate Vice Provost. On an ongoing basis these policies are reviewed by the Compliance team, monitored and edited by the respective Operations team. These policies are confidential and restricted to the current R&DE employees only. The R&DE policies and the requirements therein have been created to promote compliance with the University Administrative Guides.

In an institution as complex as R&DE, establishing new policies and changes to existing policies to which the R&DE employees are required to adhere to, is an ongoing process for achieving compliance and creating a culture of excellence.

EVERY CABINET AND STAFF MEMBER IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR KNOWING, UNDERSTANDING AND FOLLOWING APPLICABLE POLICIES AND REGULATIONS. THE POSTED POLICIES ARE NOT A COMPLETE LIST OF SUCH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WILL BE POSTED TO THIS SITE AS AND WHEN THEY ARE CREATED AND APPROVED.

The objective of creating this site is to implement process controls with the goal of achieving and maintaining compliance.
