Research Integrity.
Abstract: This is a request for an extension of the currently
approved collection. The purpose of the Annual Report on Possible
Research Misconduct (Annual Report) form is to provide data on the
amount of research misconduct activity occurring in institutions
conducting PHS supported research. In addition this provides an annual
assurance that the institution has established and will follow
administrative policies and procedures for responding to allegations of
research misconduct that comply with the Public Health Service (PHS)
Policies on Research Misconduct (42 CFR part 93). Research misconduct
is defined as receipt of an allegation of research misconduct and/or
the conduct of an inquiry and/or investigation into such allegations.
These data enable the ORI to monitor institutional compliance with the
PHS regulation. Lastly, the form will be used to respond to
congressional requests for information to prevent misuse of Federal
funds and to protect the public interest.
