The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) is inviting proposals for projects that help promote integrity and reliability in Public Health Service (PHS)-funded biomedical and behavioral research. These projects should aim to understand the various factors—societal, organizational, behavioral, group, and individual—that influence research integrity both positively and negatively.
Institutions receiving or applying for PHS support for research or research training are required to maintain an environment that upholds responsible conduct, discourages misconduct, and addresses allegations of misconduct promptly. This requirement is outlined in federal regulation 42 C.F.R. § 93.300(c).
ORI’s mission includes supporting education and outreach efforts that help these institutions teach and uphold research integrity, prevent misconduct, and respond effectively when misconduct occurs. To further this mission, the Research on Research Integrity Grant Program offers funding for empirical research that investigates the root causes of research misconduct and factors that support ethical research practices.
The estimated total funding for this program is $500,000, with individual awards ranging between $150,000 and $250,000. Projects should be designed to run for a period of 24 months.
A wide range of entities are eligible to apply. This includes state, county, and city governments, special district governments, Native American tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations including small businesses, and individuals. Additionally, faith-based, community-based, and organizations representing American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities are all encouraged to apply.
