Plagiarism, Voluntary Settlement Agreements and Public Health Service Grants
What is this about?
Based on an investigation conducted by Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, the Office for Research Integrity found that an Associate Professor in Immunology/Microbiology engaged in scientific misconduct involving two instances of plagiarism in publications related to two Public Health Service (PHS) grants.
For whom is this important?
What are the best practices?
The researcher entered into a Voluntary Settlement Agreement with the ORI. They voluntarily agreed to exclude themselves from serving in any advisory capacity to the PHS and to certify in every PHS research application or report that all contributions to the application or report are properly cited or otherwise acknowledged.
