ACTION:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Office of Research Integrity (ORI)
and the Assistant Secretary for Health
have taken final action in the following
case:
Boris Cheskis, Ph.D., Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals: Based on the report of
an investigation conducted by Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals and additional analysis
conducted by ORI in its oversight
review, ORI found that Boris Cheskis,
Ph.D., former senior scientist, Discovery
Research, Women’s Health, Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals, engaged in research
misconduct in grant applications 1 R01
DK072026–01 and 1 R01 DK072026–
01A2 submitted to the National Institute
of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Diseases (NIDDK), NIH.
Specifically, ORI found that:
• The Respondent engaged in
misconduct in science, 42 CFR 50.102,
in NIDDK, NIH, grant application 1 R01
DK072026–01, ‘‘MNAR Crosstalk with
Steroid Receptors,’’ submitted to NIH on
September 28, 2004, by intentionally
falsifying Figures 5 and 6.
• The Respondent engaged in
research misconduct, 42 CFR 93.103, in
NIDDK, NIH, grant application 1 R01
DK072026–01A2, ‘‘MNAR Crosstalk
with Steroid Receptors,’’ submitted to
NIH on November 9, 2005, by
intentionally falsifying Figures 6 and 9.
Dr. Cheskis’ research was in an area
of research (estrogen receptors and
modulation of nongenomic
phosphorylation cascades) that is of
importance to women’s health. Dr.
Cheskis’ team identified an adapter
protein, MNAR, that coordinates
interactions between certain nuclear
receptors, Src and PI3K and may play

important roles in regulation of cell
proliferation and survival.
Both Dr. Cheskis and the U.S. Public
Health Service (PHS) were desirous of
concluding this matter without further
expense of time and other resources. Dr.
Cheskis neither admits nor denies that
ORI’s findings represent findings of
research misconduct. The settlement is
not an admission of liability on the part
of the Respondent.
Dr. Cheskis has entered into a
Voluntary Settlement Agreement. Dr.
Cheskis has voluntarily agreed, for a
period of two (2) years, beginning on
March 22, 2010:
(1) To exclude himself from serving in
any advisory capacity to PHS, including
but not limited to service on any PHS
advisory committee, board, and/or peer
review committee, or as a consultant;
(2) That any institution that submits
an application for PHS support for a
research project on which the
Respondent’s participation is proposed
or that uses him in any capacity on
PHS-supported research, or that submits
a report of PHS-funded research in
which he is involved, must concurrently
submit a plan for supervision of his
duties to the funding agency for
approval; the supervisory plan must be
designed to ensure the scientific
integrity of his research contribution;
respondent agreed that he will not
participate in any PHS-supported
research until such a supervisory plan is
submitted to ORI.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Office of the Secretary
Office of Public Health and Science, Office of Minority Health;
Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New System of Records
AGENCY: Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the
Secretary, Office of Public Health and Science, Office of Minority
Health.
ACTION: Notice of a new Privacy Act System of Records (SOR).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act, OMH
proposes to establish a new system of records entitled, ``Minority
Health Information Service.'' Under provisions of 42 U.S.C. sec. 300u-
6, the Office of Minority Health (OMH) is charged with maintaining a
national minority health resource center to (1) Facilitate exchange of
and access to information related to health information, promotion,
services and education; (2) assist in analysis of issues and problems
with regard to such matters; and (3) provide technical assistance with
regard to the exchange of such information. The primary purpose of this
system is to collect and facilitate distribution of minority health
information to public and professional audiences. In support of this
purpose, this system maintains individually identifiable information
concerning individuals voluntarily participating in OMH health
campaigns and technical assistance programs, and concerning information
requested by individually identifiable customers that is maintained to
facilitate order tracking and customer service.
DATES: Effective Dates: This notice will become effective 30 days from
the date of publication of the notice unless modified by a subsequent
notice making changes in response to public comments. Although the
Privacy Act requires only that OMH provide an opportunity for
interested persons to comment on the proposed routine uses, OMH invites
comments on all portions of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Blake Crawford, Director, Division of
Information and Education, Office of Minority Health, 1101 Wootton
Parkway, Suite 600, Rockville, MD 20852. He can be reached by telephone
at 240-453-6905 or via e-mail at blake.crawford@hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Generally, OMH distributes a variety of
information via e-mail newsletter, maintains a Resource Persons Network
of public and private health experts, plans and implements health
campaigns and leads national initiatives with federal and nonfederal
partners, conducts leadership development programs, provides capacity
development and technical assistance services to community
organizations and government agencies and provides information,
literature and statistical data in response to public inquiries. The
Minority Health Information Service supports the mission of the OMH
Resource Center (OMHRC) to function as a help desk and technical
assistance service for the public and an organization that assists OMH
in implementing national initiatives and
[[Page 18838]]
campaigns. The Minority Health Information Service stores data on
individuals who ask, via telephone, mail, e-mail, Web form, face to
face encounter or other means, to participate in or be regularly
informed of these OMH activities. The resource center is managed under
contract to OMH, and its offices are located on the same floor of the
same building as OMH.
I. Description of the Proposed System of Records

II. Agency Policies, Procedures, and Restrictions on Routine Uses
The Privacy Act permits the disclosure of information without an
individual's consent if the information is used for a purpose that is
compatible with the purpose(s) for which the information was collected.
Any such disclosure of data is known as ``routine use.'' OMH maintains
the following procedures for the maintenance of personally identifiable
information:
A. We will only release information from this system as provided
for under ``Section III. Routine Uses of Records.''
B. We will only collect the minimum data necessary to achieve the
purpose of the Minority Health Information Service.
C. We will collect and disclose only data that OMH has determined
to be accurate.
D. We will validate information in the system annually, and as
corrections are received from the public.
E. We will provide opportunities and methods for individual
correction of data in the system consistent with requirements of the
Privacy Act.
F. We will publish on the OMH Web site our Privacy Policy for
information collected via this Web site.
III. Routine Uses of Records
1. To identify one or more individuals who have volunteered to
provide pro bono technical assistance to a community organization or
government agency on aspects of minority health in
[[Page 18839]]
response to a specific request for assistance. OMHRC staff provide one
or more names and associated contact information to requesting
organizations when OMHRC staff finds a match between an assistance
request and a Resource Persons Network member with relevant expertise,
experience and background, and when the request matches the activities,
health topics, or populations for which the network member has
specified that he or she is available to assist.
2. To identify key officials at national, state, regional and local
organizations who serve as public points of contact for that
organization or its work specifically on minority health. Information
searches are provided on request. Contact information for OMH campaign
and initiative partners may be posted on the OMH Web site.
3. To allow the OMH Resource Center contractor to operate this data
system. OMH uses a contractor to operate the OMH Resource Center, which
maintains the Minority Health Information Service. This contractor
collects the information, maintains the data system and safeguards the
data under the provisions outlined in this notice and applicable law
and regulation. The contractor is prohibited from using these data for
any purpose other than described in the contract and is required to
return all data to the government or deliver it securely to a
government-designated successor contractor, at the completion of the
contract.
4. To appropriate Department contractors to enable conduct of
evaluation studies or administration of OMB-approved customer
satisfaction surveys.
5. To appropriate federal agencies and Department contractors that
have a need to know the information for the purpose of assisting the
department's efforts to respond to a suspected or confirmed breach of
the security or confidentiality of information maintained in the system
of records, and the information disclosed is relevant and necessary for
the assistance.
6. To the Department of Justice, or in a proceeding before a court,
adjudicative body, or other administrative body before which the Agency
is authorized to appear, when:
a. The Agency, or any component thereof; or
b. Any employee of the Agency in his or her official capacity; or
c. Any employee of the Agency in his or her individual capacity
where the Department of Justice or the Agency has agreed to represent
the employee; or
d. The United States, if the Agency determines that litigation is
likely to affect the Agency or any of its components, is a party to
litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such
records by the Department of Justice or the Agency is deemed by the
Agency to be relevant and necessary to the litigation; provided,
however, that in each case it has been determined that the disclosure
is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
IV. Protections and Safeguards
The system conforms to all applicable Federal laws and regulations
and Federal and HHS policies and standards for information security and
data privacy. The OMH system manager, OMHRC senior leadership and OMHRC
technology manager confer to review and ensure compliance with
provisions of this notice and any changes in security requirements.
A. Authorized Users
Records are available to the system manager and OMH staff when they
have a need for the records in the performance of their duties. Records
are also available to OMHRC technology staff, OMHRC director and deputy
director, OMHRC communications staff, OMHRC information specialists
(mailing list, organizational databases, inquiry tracking system),
OMHRC knowledge center/library staff (organizational data bases and
resource persons network), OMHRC data entry staff, who need access in
order to perform their duties.
B. Safeguards
Data systems are in a secured office space with a carded entrance.
Servers are located in a locked rack. Data are backed up nightly with a
one-month daily snapshot available at any time and monthly snapshots
for a year. Annual training is required and conducted for authorized
users regarding proper handling and safeguarding of personally
identifiable information. OMH and OMHRC staff are trained on HHS
policies regarding personal use of health information technology.
V. Effects on Individual Rights
OMH proposes to establish this system in accordance with the
principles and requirements of the Privacy Act and will collect, use,
and disseminate information only as prescribed therein. Data in this
system will be subject to authorized releases in accordance with the
routine uses identified in this system of records.
OMH will take precautionary measures to minimize the risks of
unauthorized access to the records and the potential harm to individual
privacy or other personal property rights of individuals whose data are
maintained in the system. OMH will collect only that information
necessary to perform the system's functions. In addition, OMH will make
disclosure from the system only with the consent of the subject
individual, his or her legal representative, or in accordance with an
applicable exception provision of the Privacy Act. OMH therefore does
not anticipate an unfavorable effect on individual privacy as a result
of information relating to individuals.
