Editorial commentary
ORI operates under 42 CFR Part 93, which defines misconduct as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism (FFP) and sets the procedural framework (inquiry, investigation, findings, administrative actions). ORI does not itself conduct investigations of first instance; awardee institutions do. ORI reviews institutional findings, publishes case summaries in the Federal Register, and can impose administrative actions including funding debarment. ORI also issues guidance and supports RCR training.
