The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office of Research Integrity announces the anticipated availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 under the authority of Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 241), as delegated to the Director of ORI. Research institutions receiving funding for research from any of the Public Health Service funding components1 are required to “[f]oster a research environment that promotes the responsible conduct of research, research training, and activities related to that research or research training, discourages research misconduct, and deals promptly with allegations or evidence of possible research misconduct.” 42 C.F.R. § 93.300(c). Core to ORI’s mission is the support of education and outreach activities that aid PHS-funded research institutions in their efforts “to teach the responsible conduct of research, promote research integrity, prevent research misconduct, and…to respond effectively to allegations of research misconduct” (65 F.R. 30600, 30601). Our Ensuring Research Integrity Conference Grant Program contributes to this mission by supporting conferences and workshops that advance the evolving field of research integrity and 1 PHS funding components are "any organizational unit of the PHS authorized to award grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements for any activity that involves the conduct of biomedical or behavioral research, research training or activities related to that research or research training, e.g., agencies, bureaus, centers, institutes, divisions, or offices and other awarding units within the PHS." 42 C.F.R. § 93.209. This includes the: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Indian Health Service (IHS), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR). build the knowledge base in research misconduct, research integrity, and prevention of research misconduct and detrimental research practices. We seek to fund, through this opportunity, conferences and workshops that provide a forum for discussion of and produce tangible outcomes related to ensuring research integrity and compliance with 42 C.F.R. Part 93. In-person and virtual conferences and workshops, or a combination of both, will be eligible for funding.
