compliance efforts to effectively respond to changes in health
care and research practices, legal/regulatory changes and
technological trends.

functions across units in a complex multi-mission organization,
communicate with diverse groups both within and outside of the
University, build a climate of trust, and inspire others to
accomplish results. The CCO must demonstrate and set high
standards of behavior, performance, quality, credibility and
