Research Integrity

It is expected that all research conducted at Centre College will be carried out with integrity, consistent with the research ethics of the field in which it is conducted. Reports of suspected research misconduct should be made to the Dean of the College, who serves as the College’s Research Integrity Officer. In all cases, College policies and procedures will protect the confidentiality of both the individual who makes the allegation and the individual accused of research misconduct. For allegations of scientific misconduct made against individuals conducting federally-funded research through the Public Health Service (e.g. NIH), the investigation of these allegations will be carried out following the “Centre College Policy for Responding to Allegations of Scientific Misconduct of Federally Funded Research” (see Appendix L).
