Ensuring Research Integrity – Research on Research Integrity Program (RRI)

We seek applications to conduct empirical research on societal, organizational, behavioral, group, and individual factors that affect integrity in research, focusing on the identification of the root causes of research misconduct and driving factors for research integrity in compliance with 42 C.F.R. part 93. The projects funded under this opportunity must aim to research any combination of the following focus areas: 1) Explore the financial, cultural, institutional, and individual factors; 2) Assess the effectiveness of policies and training; 3) Investigate reporting and response mechanisms; and 4) Examine how artificial intelligence (AI) acts as a potential driver of research integrity or a risk factor for research misconduct.
