In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) released in October 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Secretary, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office of Research Integrity (ORI) proposed to revise the Public Health Service (PHS) Policies on Research Misconduct. The proposed revisions are based on the experience ORI and institutions have gained with the regulation since it was released in 2005. 

Research Misconduct allegations are managed in accordance with Emory Research Misconduct Policy 7.8. 

Emory’s Research Integrity team submitted comments to voice our opinions on the NPRM. We will keep the Emory research community updated as we receive more information on the new ORI regulations.
