Title of the Collection: Public Health Service Polices on Research
Misconduct (42 CFR part 93)--OMB No. 0937-0198--Extension--Office of
Research Integrity.
Abstract: The Office of Research Integrity is requesting an
extension on a currently approved collection. The purpose of the
Institutional Assurance and Annual Report on Possible Research
Misconduct form PHS-6349 is to provide data on the amount of research
misconduct activity occurring in institutions conducting PHS-supported
research. The purpose of the Assurance of Compliance by Sub-Award
Recipients form PHS-6315 is to establish an assurance of compliance for
a sub-awardee institution. Forms PHS 6349 and PHS-6315 are also used to
provide an annual assurance that the institution has established and
will follow administrative policies and procedures for responding to
allegations of research misconduct that comply with the Public Health
Service (PHS) Policies on Research Misconduct (42 CFR Part 93).
Research misconduct is defined as receipt of an allegation of research
misconduct and/or the conduct of an inquiry and/or investigation into
such allegations. These data enable the ORI to monitor institutional
compliance with the PHS regulation.
Need and Proposed Use: The information is needed to fulfill section
493 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 289b), which requires
assurances from institutions that apply for financial assistance under
the Public Health Service Act for any project or program that involves
the conduct of biomedical or behavioral research. In addition, the
information is also required to fulfill the assurance and annual
reporting requirements of 42 CFR Part 93. ORI uses the information to
monitor institutional compliance with the regulation. Lastly, the
information may be used to respond to congressional requests for
information to prevent misuse of Federal funds and to protect the
public interest.
