The Office of Research Integrity anticipates making award(s) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 under the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 241 (Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act). Institutions applying for or receiving Public Health Service (PHS) support for biomedical or behavioral research, biomedical or behavioral research training, or activities related to that research or research training are required to “[f]oster a research environment that promotes research integrity and the responsible conduct of research, 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… respond effectively to allegations of research misconduct.” (65 Fed. Reg. 30,600, 30,601 (May 12, 2000)). This notice solicits applications for projects to develop and implement programs and tools related to the prevention of research misconduct, protection of whistleblowers, and the furtherance of research integrity in the United States.
