What is Misconduct? Research Misconduct is defined as

What is Misconduct? The definition of misconduct does not include
disputes of honest error or honest differences in interpretations or judgment of data
There must be a significant departure from accepted practices of the relevant research community; and
The misconduct must be committed intentionally, knowingly, or in a reckless disregard of accepted practices; and
What is Misconduct? The allegation be proven by a
preponderance of evidence. Misconduct does not include disputes of
authorship. Such matters are the responsibility of the
grantee institution and, if necessary PHS agencies.
What is Misconduct? Fabrication – making up data or results and
recording or reporting them. Falsification – is manipulating research materials,
equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record.
Plagiarism – is the appropriation of another person’s ideas, process, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.
Procedures Allegation – A written allegation of misconduct that
triggers the procedures. Inquiry – The process for which information gathering
and preliminary fact-finding to determine if a Charge or apparent instance of Research Misconduct has substance and therefore warrants an Investigation: Research Integrity Officer
Investigation – The process for the formal examination and evaluation of all relevant facts to determine whether Research Misconduct has occurred, and if so, the responsible person and the seriousness of the misconduct: Deciding Official
