CASE SUMMARIES

This section contains summaries of closed investigations only.  Institutions are not required to report inquiries to ORI if an investigation is not warranted.   Closed investigations that found misconduct, or that imposed administrative actions without a misconduct finding, are reported in the first section.  The listing of summaries involving misconduct findings is limited to the current year and two previous years because administrative actions are typically imposed for three years.  The second section contains summaries of all closed investigations that did not result in findings of research misconduct since 1994.  These summaries are sanitized to protect the privacy of the individuals involved.
