About this opportunity
The Office of Research Integrity (Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services) is forecasting awards for empirical research on factors affecting research integrity, with an application deadline of July 30, 2025. Two awards ranging from $150,000 to $250,000 per budget period are anticipated over a 24-month period of performance (two 12-month budget periods), with an anticipated award date of September 15, 2025 and project start of September 30, 2025. No cost share is required.
Eligible applicants include universities, hospitals, laboratories, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, state and local governments, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander organizations, Native American tribal governments and organizations, public housing authorities, for-profit organizations, small businesses, and individuals.
The program prioritizes three focus areas for FY 2025: exploring financial, cultural, institutional, and individual factors affecting research integrity; assessing the effectiveness of policies and training; and investigating reporting and response mechanisms. Projects must identify root causes of research misconduct and driving factors for research integrity compliance with 42 C.F.R. Part 93, and must include measurable outcomes and comprehensive dissemination plans.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and include a project narrative (30-page limit), appendices combining a work plan with SMART objectives, letters of commitment or memoranda of agreement from partners, curricula vitae for key personnel, and references cited (combined 75-page limit with narrative), and a detailed budget package. Multi-year projects require non-competing continuation applications for each subsequent budget period, subject to satisfactory progress, appropriate fund stewardship, and fund availability.
The program is assigned CFDA 93.085.
Forecast synopsis
The Office of Research Integrity anticipates making award(s) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 under the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 241 (Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act).
Institutions applying for or receiving Public Health Service (PHS) support for biomedical or behavioral research, biomedical or behavioral research training, or activities related to that research or research training are required to "[f]oster a research environment that promotes research integrity and the responsible conduct of research, discourages research misconduct, and deals promptly with allegations or evidence of possible research misconduct." 42 C.F.R. § 93.300(c). Core to ORI's mission is the support of education and outreach activities that aid PHS-funded research institutions in their efforts "to teach the responsible conduct of research, promote research integrity, prevent research misconduct, and . . . respond effectively to allegations of research misconduct[.]" (65 Fed. Reg. 30,600, 30,601 (May 12, 2000)).
Our Research on Research Integrity Grant Program contributes to this mission by supporting projects that foster empirical research on societal, organizational, behavioral, group, and individual factors that affect, both positively and negatively, integrity in research with a focus on the identification of the root causes of research misconduct and driving factors for research integrity in compliance with 42 C.F.R. Part 93.
