Office of Research Integrity Grant: Advancing Responsible Data Management in PHS-Funded Research

Research institutions receiving funding from any of the HHS PHS agencies are required by 42 C.F.R. § 93.300(c) to “[f]oster a research environment that promotes the responsible conduct of research, research training, and activities related to that research or research training, discourages research misconduct, and deals promptly with allegations or evidence of possible research misconduct”. Core to ORI’s mission is the development and implementation of education and outreach activities that aid PHS-funded research institutions in their efforts “to teach the responsible conduct of research, promote research integrity, prevent research misconduct, and…to respond effectively to allegations of research misconduct” (65 F.R. 30600, 30601).

ORI’s Research on Research Integrity assistance program contributes to this mission by supporting projects that advance the evolving field of research integrity and build the knowledge base in research misconduct, research integrity, and prevention. Responsible management of data throughout the research lifecycle is key to ensuring the integrity, reliability, and availability of data acquired in connection with PHS-funded research. ORI seeks to fund, through this opportunity, research on responsible data management and stewardship practices and the development of practical approaches,
considerations, and resources that can be used by researchers, research administrators, and research institutions to improve data management and stewardship practices.

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) announces the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 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.

The goal of this funding opportunity is to support the development of approaches and resources for data management and stewardship (which also includes data storage and retention of an array of data types) that will help enhance the integrity and reliability of data generated with Public Health Service (PHS) funds, ensure data acquired using PHS funds are available for subsequent use by the research community, and ensure data are available for examination should there be an issue related to the integrity, authenticity, reproducibility, and/or reliability of the research. ORI anticipates funding one award, not to exceed $600,000 in total costs (direct plus indirect) over a two-year project period.

This funding opportunity does not support projects with the primary purpose to hold meetings or conferences.

This notice solicits applications for projects that will conduct innovative research that advances the evolving field of research integrity and develops the evidence base for the research integrity community. ORI seeks to fund 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.

ORI also intends to support efforts to create or enhance educational and interventional programs for promoting research integrity and preventing research misconduct. In furtherance of this effort, ORI is also soliciting applications for projects to develop and evaluate programs and resources related to the prevention of research misconduct, protection of whistleblowers, and the furtherance of research integrity in the United States and internationally. Consequently, funds may be used for the creation of curricula and similar materials, along with evaluation materials, resources, and tools to support a variety of new or existing programs. Knowledge gained from programs and data from evaluations should contribute to the generalizable knowledge of research misconduct and research integrity.
