TO: RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION DISCUSSION GROUP

 In November, 1995, ORI issued a guideline policy for dealing with
 retaliation of whistleblowers.  Apparently this was sent to all
 institutions as an example of what ORI would consider to be a model
 policy which satifies PHS policy in regard to treatment of
 whistleblowers.  I have a copy now but did not receive anything
 directly from ORI.  Did anyone else get a copy of the guidelines from
 ORI?  I'm trying to determine whether there was an official
 distribution of the guidelines that we somehow missed out on.

 Also, I'd be interested in any policies that you would be willing to
 share on this.  We would like to set something up more formally and
 are looking at the ORI guidelines as well as those in use by other
 institutions.  If you have an institutional policy for handling
 retaliation against whistleblowers that you think works well I'd love
 to get a copy.

     Thanks.
