Case Study in Research Integrity: This Application Feels Familiar
Imagine you are reviewing an application for an NIH study section meeting, and you come across an application that seems just a bit too familiar. The scientific question falls within your wheelhouse. The methods and strategies seem spot on. And isn’t that how you format your text? In this case study, we will discuss how plagiarism in the grant application process is handled at NIH and remind the research community about the importance of maintaining confidentiality of the peer review process. The scenario presented is based on real-world events, with all names and identifiers removed or changed.

Reminders About Financial Conflicts of Interest and Other Support
A recent study from the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) affirmed that NIH grant recipients play a key role in protecting the integrity and security of U.S. biomedical research, in part through requiring Investigators to disclose all of their significant financial interests and all sources of their other support. As noted by the OIG, failures by some recipients to disclose substantial contributions of resources from foreign entities (including foreign governments) have raised concerns about threats to the integrity of NIH-supported research. In response to the OIG recommendations, we are reminding grant applicants a...
