The Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House is spearheading the development of a definition of research misconduct that will be applicable to all federally funded research.The definition is being developed by a panel of the Committee on Fundamental Science within the National Science Technology Council. Representatives from NIH, NSF, and other Federal agencies are on the panel.
Besides the definition, the panel is also charged with developing guidelines for the respective roles that Federal agencies and research institutions should play in ensuring the integrity of the scientific record.
