US ORI PHS Administrative Actions

Researchers debarred or restricted for misconduct in federally funded research

Individuals with administrative actions currently imposed by the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after findings of research misconduct (fabrication, falsification or plagiarism) in research supported by the US Public Health Service (PHS). Actions run for a fixed term or for life, and include debarment from federal contracts and programs, a ban on serving as a PHS advisor, and supervision or certification of the individual's PHS-funded research.

Expired actions remain listed while the individual stays on the bulletin board. The Food and Drug Administration lists the individuals it has debarred or restricted separately.
