Sec. 93.210  Good faith.

    Good faith as applied to a complainant or witness, means having a 
belief in the truth of one's allegation or testimony that a reasonable 
person in the complainant's or witness's position could have based on 
the information known to the complainant or witness at the time. An 
allegation or cooperation with a research misconduct proceeding is not 
in good faith if made with knowing or reckless disregard for information 
that would negate the allegation or testimony. Good faith as applied to 
a committee member means cooperating with the research misconduct 
proceeding by carrying out the duties assigned impartially for the 
purpose of helping an institution meet its responsibilities under this 
part. A committee member does not act in good faith if his/her acts or 
omissions on the committee are dishonest or influenced by personal, 
professional, or financial conflicts of interest with those involved in 
the research misconduct proceeding.
