Abstract: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Research Integrity (ORI) has partnered with the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) to launch this data collection effort to better understand how to serve those who might benefit from additional education and resources to improve research integrity. ORI and OHRP have found that researchers, Institutional Review Board (IRB) Chairs, Research Integrity Officers (RIOs), Human Protections and Compliance Officers, and Human Protections Administrators, who oversee the conduct of research involving human research subjects, may struggle with identifying reportable noncompliance or unanticipated problems, protocol violations, protocol deficiencies, and falsifications and fabrications of data and methods in that research. Failure to recognize these concerns may result in noncompliance, protocol violations and research misconduct not being adequately addressed; falsified and/or fabricated methods, data, and results that may be published or used to obtain federal funding; human research subjects being harmed; and/or Public Health Service (PHS) funds not being protected. This data collection is a new request and includes an online survey instrument used with stakeholders holding positions at institutions holding a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) and/or operating an IRB, and is designed to identify barriers in the identification, evaluation, and reporting of potential research misconduct, protocol violations, reportable noncompliance, and unanticipated problems in research that involves human subjects. This data collection is intended to assist ORI and OHRP in developing approaches to improve how to identify and distinguish incidents that are reportable to ORI and OHRP from those that do not require reporting to these offices. This information is also intended to give RIOs, IRBs, human protections administrators, compliance officers, and other institutional officials involved with human subjects’ research insight into how they can strengthen their policies and procedures for identifying, evaluating, and/or communicating potential research misconduct and reportable noncompliance and unanticipated problems by identifying gaps, barriers, and areas in which communication and education may need to be enhanced within their institution.

    Title of the Collection: Research Misconduct and Noncompliance in 
Clinical Trials and Translational Research.
    Type of Collection: New.
    OMB No.: 0990-XXXX.
    Abstract: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office 
of Research Integrity (ORI) has partnered with the Office for Human 
Research Protections (OHRP) to launch this data collection effort to 
better understand how to serve those who might benefit from additional 
education and resources to improve research integrity. ORI and OHRP 
have found that researchers, Institutional Review Board (IRB) Chairs, 
Research Integrity Officers (RIOs), Human Protections and Compliance 
Officers, and Human Protections Administrators, who oversee the conduct 
of research involving human research subjects, may struggle with 
identifying reportable noncompliance or unanticipated problems, 
protocol violations, protocol deficiencies, and falsifications and 
fabrications of data and methods in that research. Failure to recognize 
these concerns may result in noncompliance, protocol violations and 
research misconduct not being adequately addressed; falsified and/or 
fabricated methods, data, and results that may be published or used to 
obtain federal funding; human research subjects being harmed; and/or 
Public Health Service (PHS) funds not being protected.
    This data collection is a new request and includes an online survey 
instrument used with stakeholders holding positions at institutions 
holding a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) and/or operating an IRB, and is 
designed to identify barriers in the identification, evaluation, and 
reporting of potential research misconduct, protocol violations, 
reportable noncompliance, and unanticipated problems in research that 
involves human subjects. This data collection is intended to assist ORI 
and OHRP in developing approaches to improve how to identify and 
distinguish incidents that are reportable to ORI and OHRP from those 
that do not require reporting to these offices. This information is 
also intended to give RIOs, IRBs, human protections administrators, 
compliance officers, and other institutional officials involved with 
human subjects' research insight into how they can strengthen their 
policies and procedures for identifying, evaluating, and/or 
communicating potential research misconduct and reportable 
noncompliance and unanticipated problems by identifying gaps, barriers, 
and areas in which communication and education may need to be enhanced 
within their institution.
