ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS
The administrative actions PHS/HHS may take against respondents
who have a finding of research misconduct made against them include,
but are not limited to:
- debarment
from eligibility to receive Federal funds for grants and contracts,
- prohibition
from service on PHS advisory committees, peer review committees,
or as consultants,
- certification
of information sources by respondent that is forwarded by institution,
- certification
of data by institution, imposition of supervision on the respondent
by the institution,
- submission
of a correction of a published article by respondent, and
- submission
of a retraction of a published articles by respondent.
Which administrative actions, the number of administrative actions,
and the
length of the administrative actions depends on the seriousness
of the misconduct, the impact of the misconduct, and whether the
misconduct demonstrates a pattern of behavior. Administrative actions
are usually imposed for 3 years, but have ranged from 1 to 10 years.
ORI generally relies on the cooperation of the institution where
the respondent is currently employed to assist in implementing administrative
actions.
