Research integrity and misconduct

Federal regulations require that the university assume primary responsibility for prevention, detection, and investigation of research misconduct and take action to ensure the integrity of research. University policies establish standards of ethical behavior for all members of the university community and prescribe procedures for due process and discipline for deviation from those standards.

This page provides information on policies and regulations relating to research misconduct. Specifically, this covers allegations of fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism, in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results.
