  7. Conflict of Interest

  8. Conflict of Interest • A situation in which the integrity of a research activity, may be, or may be perceived to be, influenced by another interest of an investigator conducting the research or of the institution at which the research will be conducted.

  10. Why Are These Issues Important? • Maintain Academic Integrity • State Legislation • Federal Regulation

  20. Suggested Approach • Analysis • Does any investigator have a financial interest in the sponsor of the research? • Does any investigator have any other financial interest in the outcome of the research? • Does the research involve human subjects? • Disclosures • ORD Coeus Application • UMB Form • CCT Service Request • IRB Cicero Protocol • IACUC Protocol • FDA Forms

  21. Questions (And answers)

  22. Research Misconduct

  23. Responsible Research Research Misconduct Irresponsible Research

  24. Scientists Behaving Badly • “Overall, 33% of the respondents said they had engaged in at least one of the top ten [misconduct] behaviours during the previous three years.” Martinson, et al in Nature, Vol 435, No 9:737-738, 2005.

  25. UMB Definition(academic misconduct;misconduct in scholarly work) • Means fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other practices that seriously deviate from those that are commonly accepted within the scientific community for proposing, conducting, or reporting research or other scholarly work; also includes any form of behavior, including the making of allegations that involve frivolous, mischievous or malicious misrepresentation, whereby one’s work or the work of others is seriously misrepresented; does not include honest error or honest differences in interpretations or judgments of data.

  26. Categories of Research Misconduct • Fabrication: making up experiments, data • Falsification: changing results, data without statistical justification • Plagiarism: appropriating the words or ideas of another and presenting them as one’s own

  27. What Research MisconductIs Not • Example 1: Simply illegal, improper or unacceptable behavior • Example 2: Honest error • Example 3: Disagreement based on honest differences of opinion • Example 4: Simply authorship disputes • Example 5: Arguably unethical behavior • Example 6: Sloppy science

  28. Some Definitions • Allegations • Complainant (whistleblower) • Respondent • Senior Academic Official • Responsible Official

  29. Applicable Policies • USM Policy On Misconduct In Scholarly Work • UMB Policy and Procedures Concerning Misconduct In Scholarly Work • NIH Policy 42CFR93 (PHS Policies On Research Misconduct) http://www.umaryland.edu/research_integrity/misconduct/index.html

  33. Suggested Approach • Analysis • Do the allegations involve fabrication, falsification or plagiarism? • Do the allegations involve other improper activity requiring notification? • Consultation / Notification • Appropriate UMB official(s) • Research Integrity Office • Maintain strict confidentiality

  38. Case Study

  39. Rebecca Quinn, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in your department wants to submit a proposal for an NIH R01 with Angela Sands, a faculty member in another department. Drs Quinn and Sands think they have discovered a new technique for detecting anthrax on the skin and in the hair and they wish to test the technique. What further information would be helpful at this point and how would you get it?

  40. Angela Sands has a PhD. • The technique they wish to test involves the use of radioactive antibodies to anthrax. • They will test it first on dogs, then on humans.

  41. Dr Quinn’s husband runs a company that has a number of federal bio-defense contracts. The plan is to purchase the anthrax antibodies from his company and then radiolabel them here on campus.

  42. The grant is awarded!

  43. Dr Quinn is appointed as an Assistant Professor. • Drs Quinn and Sands wish to put a new postdoc, from Iran, on the grant to do the radiolabeling of the antibodies.

  44. 9 months later, Dr Quinn comes to you and says she thinks the postdoc has been making up the specifications on the radiolabeled antibodies he was to have produced. Some of them have already been used on human participants.
