Research Misconduct: Policy and Practice at the NSF
Abstract
Under NSF's Office of Inspector General mandate to prevent fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement involving NSF's proposals and awards, our office also investigates allegations of research misconduct. I will discuss our office's handling of such matters, focusing on the ethical and legal obligations of proposal submitters and awardees and the role of the scientific community. To illustrate some other points that are of interest to the physics community, I will also discuss some of our investigative activities relevant to: duplicate funding, the accuracy of information in proposals, and collaborations.
