Research Integrity

 

Research Integrity means:

 

  • the use of honest and verifiable methods in proposing, performing, and evaluating research
  • reporting research results with particular attention to adherence to rules, regulations, guidelines, and
  • following commonly accepted professional codes or norms.

 

ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Pillars

Research Integrity and Compliance offers Responsible Conduct of Research Training to all ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø researchers.  Principle Investigators, Graduate Students, and Undergraduates are welcome to attend.   

  • A monthly RCR Seminar Series provides in-person discussion based training.  Eight 1 hour seminars are held throughout the calendar year.  Different topics are covered each month and attending all sessions will meet NIH, NSF, and USDA requirements for RCR training.
  • Online RCR training is available via the web based Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) system.  Visit the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø CITI Training web site for more details.  Completing CITI online training will meet the NSF and USDA requirements for RCR training.  NIH does not accept RCR training that is conducted primarily online.

Contact the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Research Integrity Officer at (208) 282-2618 for questions regarding Responsible Conduct of Research Training.

 

Research misconduct is specifically defined by the federal government as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results (42 CFR 93).  ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø is required by law to follow a clearly defined investigation and reporting process when fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism occurs.

Honest errors and differences of opinion are not considered research misconduct.

Non-compliance with an ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Research Policy or federal research regulation is a serious matter that can have significant consequences.

 

Anonymously report research misconduct or non-compliance by phone at (800) 461-9330 or online at the website.  Both reporting methods are available 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.
