I found the citations Howie referred to: These are from the ORI Newsletter Volume 4, No. 2, Office of Research Integrity, March 1996 You can locate the e-copy at http://ori.dhhs.gov/vol4no2.htm. Harry L. June, Ph.D., Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPI). Based on an investigation conducted by IUPI, ORI found that Dr. June committed scientific misconduct by falsifying three letters of recommendation submitted with and in support of a FIRST Award application to the PHS. Dr. June has entered into a Voluntary Exclusion Agreement with ORI in which he has accepted ORI's finding and has agreed to exclude himself voluntarily, for the three-year period beginning November 21, 1995, from serving in any advisory capacity to PHS, including service on any PHS advisory committee, board, and/or peer review committee, or as a consultant. In addition, Dr. June has voluntarily agreed to accept the administrative sanctions imposed by IUPI, which include requirements that Dr. June: (1) take a course in research ethics; (2) be supervised by a senior faculty member for not less than three years; and (3) submit all grant applications to his supervisor for review at least one month prior to the agency deadline and to the Dean's office at least two weeks prior to the agency deadline. No scientific publications were required to be corrected. Ruth Lupu, Ph.D., Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). Based on an investigation conducted by GUMC, ORI found that Dr. Lupu committed scientific misconduct by submitting a false letter of collaboration in an unfunded application to the PHS. Letters of collaboration are a significant factor in the evaluation of applications. Dr. Lupu has entered into a Voluntary Exclusion Agreement with ORI in which she has accepted ORI's finding and has agreed to exclude herself voluntarily, for the period beginning December 6, 1995, and ending January 30, 1997, from serving in any advisory capacity to PHS, including service on any PHS advisory committee, board, and/or peer review com-mittee, or as a consultant. In addition, Dr. Lupu has voluntarily agreed to accept the administrative sanctions imposed by GUMC, which include requirements that: (1) a letter of reprimand be issued and retained in her personnel file for two years; and (2) her future grant applications, proposals, and other publications be subject to special monitoring and review for two years. No scientific publications were required to be corrected. Certainly NOT the way I'd like to spend my fifteen minutes of fame! Jennifer Morgan, M.H.A.
