Research and research administration are managed with a great deal of regulations, policies and procedures.  Both faculty and staff are required by Stanford policy to take a variety of courses to ensure compliance; additional training is available to round out experience.  

Many compliance offices such as the Dean of Research, Research Compliance, the Office of Research Administration, etc. provide additional training on research-related topics such as human and animal subjects, PI training, HIPAA, space management, etc.  Below is a list of recommended classes for those working with sponsored research:
