Federal Research-Integrity Office Quickens Pace of Investigations.
Walker, Paulette V.
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n31 pA32 Apr 11 1997
The Public Health Service's Office of Research Integrity, charged with investigating allegations of research misconduct, is addressing charges of inefficiency by speeding up inquiries and reducing the backlog of cases. However, concern persists about the quality of investigations and the agency's power. Some feel the agency relies too heavily on information given to it by universities. (MSE)
