Deadline: 04-Aug-20
The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) has announced the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 grant awards under the authority of Sec. 301 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. § 241, as delegated to the Director of ORI.
This notice solicits applications for projects that will conduct innovative original research related to the prevention of research misconduct, facilitation of whistleblowing and the protection of whistleblowers, and promote the responsible conduct of research and the furtherance of research integrity in the United States and internationally.
Objectives
- The goal of the program is to develop the evidence base for the research integrity community to create or enhance educational and interventional programs for promoting research integrity and preventing research misconduct.
- ORI specifically seeks to support innovative research to:
- identify risk factors at the individual, group (laboratory or department), and institutional levels that lead to questionable research practices (QRPs) and research misconduct, and resilience factors at the individual, group, and institutional levels that make involvement in research misconduct and QRPs less likely, and
- examine the effectiveness of approaches for deterring research misconduct and facilitating the handling of research misconduct allegations, including the identification of factors or circumstances that facilitate or deter whistleblowing and that shield whistleblowers from negative consequences.
Funding Information
ORI anticipates that the Research on Research Integrity awards will have a ceiling of up to $150,000 (direct and indirect funding) with a floor of $50,000 for a project period of up to 12 months.
Eligibility Criteria
Any public or private entity, including faith-based, community-based, and Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations, are eligible to apply. Foreign institutions (non-domestic U.S.) entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are eligible to apply.
