Sec. 93.100  General policy.


    (a) Research misconduct involving PHS support is contrary to the 
interests of the PHS and the Federal government and to the health and 
safety of the public, to the integrity of research, and to the 
conservation of public funds.
    (b) The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and 
institutions that apply for or receive Public Health Service (PHS) 
support for biomedical or behavioral research, biomedical or behavioral 
research training, or activities related to that research or research 
training share responsibility for the integrity of the research process. 
HHS has ultimate oversight authority for PHS supported research, and for 
taking other actions as appropriate or necessary, including the right to 
assess allegations and perform inquiries or investigations at any time. 
Institutions and institutional members have an affirmative duty to 
protect PHS funds from misuse by ensuring the integrity of all PHS 
supported work, and primary responsibility for responding to and 
reporting allegations of research misconduct, as provided in this part.
