SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Proposed Project Care Coordination Quality Measure for Patients in the Primary Care Setting Proposed Project ‘‘Care Coordination Measure Development—Phase III’’ This project is Task Order #11 under the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Prevention and Care Management Technical Assistance Center Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract. The project, entitled ‘‘Care Coordination Measure Development—Phase III’’, will develop a patient survey of the quality of care coordination for adults in primary care settings, i.e., the Care Coordination Quality Measure for Primary Care (CCQM–PC). The project will update the Care Coordination Measures Atlas (https://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/ systems/long-termcare/resources/ coordination/atlas/). In combination with primary research, the PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 project will use the Atlas and prior work that identified gaps in the measurement of care coordination to develop and pilot test a rigorous and psychometrically sound patient assessment (from the perspective of patient and family) of the quality of care coordination for adults within primary care settings—the CCQM–PC. The survey will address key care coordination domains; be appropriate for research; will set the stage for the future development of measures for quality reporting, accountability, and payment purposes; and be consistent with Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) principles. The instrument is to be developed, cognitively tested, revised and pilot tested. A stakeholder panel will provide input throughout the phases of the project. There are four explicit objectives for our analysis of the pilot-test data: • Evaluate the quality of the responses to the CCQM–PC survey (through item functioning analysis). • Determine how the items that ask for reports of patient experiences could be summarized into a smaller set of composite measures (through factor analysis). • Evaluate the measurement properties of the composite scales (assessment of reliability, validity, and variability of the measure). • Identify information (i.e., case mix adjusters) that should be used to adjust scores to ensure valid comparisons among primary care practices (PCPs). • Determine how CCQM–PC scores vary among practices that self-report processes of care that are more or less aligned with a medical home model. This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor, American Institutes for Research (AIR), pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct and support research on healthcare and on systems for the delivery of such care, including activities with respect to quality measurement and improvement. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2). Method of Collection Thirty primary care practices of different types and ownership configurations will be recruited to provide a patient sample to AHRQ’s contractor, AIR for the purpose of establishing the psychometrics of the CCQM–PC and understanding the relation of its domains to a practicelevel measure of processes of care, the Medical Home Index (Long Version, MHI–LV). The CCQM–PC will be conducted by mail with phone followup for nonrespondents. Survey E:\FR\FM\30JYN1.SGM 30JYN1

Findings of Research Misconduct

AGENCY:  Office of the Secretary, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  Notice is hereby given that the Office of Research Integrity 
(ORI) has taken final action in the following case:
    Zhihua Zou, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School and Fred Hutchinson 
Cancer Research Center: Based on the reports of investigations 
conducted by Harvard Medical School (HMS) and Fred Hutchinson Cancer 
Research Center (FHCRC) and additional analysis conducted by ORI in its 
oversight review, ORI found that Dr. Zhihua Zou, former Postdoctoral 
Fellow, Department of Neurobiology, HMS, and former Staff Scientist, 
Division of Basic Sciences, FHCRC, engaged in research misconduct in 
research supported by National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial 
Research (NIDCR), National Institutes of Health (NIH), grants R01 
DC001622 and R01 DC004842.
    ORI found that Respondent engaged in research misconduct by 
falsifying data that were included in two (2) publications:

1. Zou, Z., Horowitz, L.F., Montmayeur, J.P., Snapper, S., & Buck, L.B. 
``Genetic tracing reveals a stereotyped sensory map in the olfactory 
cortex.'' Nature 414:173-179, 2001 (hereafter referred to as ``Nature 
2001'').
2. Zou, Z., Li, F., & Buck, L.B. ``Odor maps in the olfactory cortex.'' 
Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102:7724-7729, 2005 (hereafter referred to as 
``PNAS 2005'').

    As a result of the investigations, both publications have been 
retracted.
    Specifically, ORI finds that Respondent:
     Falsified Figures 2k, 2l, 3a, 3f, 3h, and 3i in Nature 
2001 and Figure 5C(b) in PNAS 2005 by manipulating the images to alter 
the number and location of positively stained cells in the olfactory 
bulb and olfactory cortex of mice.
    Dr. Zou has entered into a Voluntary Settlement Agreement 
(Agreement) and has voluntarily agreed for a period of

three (3) years, beginning on July 9, 2014:
    (1) That the administrative actions delineated in (2)-(4) below 
will be required for three (3) years after the effective date of the 
Agreement, beginning on the date of Respondent's employment in a 
research position in which he receives or applies for U.S. Public 
Health Service (PHS) support; however, if within three (3) years of the 
effective date of the Agreement, Respondent has not obtained employment 
in a research position in which he receives or applies for PHS support, 
the administrative actions in (2)-(4) will no longer apply;
    (2) to have any PHS-supported research supervised; Respondent 
agrees that prior to the submission of an application for PHS support 
for a research project on which the Respondent's participation is 
proposed and prior to Respondent's participation in any capacity on 
PHS-supported research, Respondent shall ensure that a plan for 
supervision of Respondent's duties is submitted to ORI for approval; 
the supervision plan must be designed to ensure the scientific 
integrity of Respondent's research; Respondent agrees that he shall not 
participate in any PHS-supported research until such a supervision plan 
is submitted to and approved by ORI; Respondent agrees to maintain 
responsibility for compliance with the agreed upon supervision plan;
    (3) that any institution employing him shall submit, in conjunction 
with each application for PHS funds, or report, manuscript, or abstract 
involving PHS-supported research in which Respondent is involved, a 
certification to ORI that the data provided by Respondent are based on 
actual experiments or are otherwise legitimately derived and that the 
data, procedures, and methodology are accurately reported in the 
application, report, manuscript, or abstract; and
    (4) to exclude himself voluntarily 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.
