Systemwide Review of Proposed Presidential Policy on Responding to Allegations of Research Misconduct |
The University of California Office of the President invites comments on the proposed Presidential Policy on Responding to Allegations of Research Misconduct (UC Research Misconduct Policy). The proposed policy updates the current University Policy on Integrity in Research.
On September 6, 2024, the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued revised regulations on research misconduct, Public Health Service Policies on Research Misconduct (PHS Regulations). The PHS Regulations apply to institutions starting January 1, 2026.
The UC Research Misconduct Policy includes the following:
|
- Publication in the correct format for UC Presidential Policies.
- Adoption of definitions related to research misconduct provided in the Federal Policy on Research Misconduct.
-
Restatement that UC is committed to maintaining the integrity of scholarship and research, responding to allegations of research misconduct, and to fostering a climate conducive to research integrity in accordance with the UC Statement of Ethical Values.
- A Procedures Section that directs Locations to implement local policies and procedures for responding to allegations of research misconduct, including complying with federal policies and conditions of extramural awards.
|
The draft policy is posted here. If you have any questions or if you wish to comment, please contact Paula Johnson in the Office of Information Governance and Policy at policy@ucsd.edu no later than December 12, 2025.
