Research Integrity

Overview

Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is committed to advancing a culture of compliance and scientific integrity among its investigators, postdoctoral fellows, research staff, and research administrators. Although infrequent, instances of research misconduct may arise. When they do, it is the responsibility of the research community to see they are addressed appropriately.

Harvard Chan School follows Harvard University  Policies and Procedures for Responding to Allegations of Research Misconduct that defines what constitutes research misconduct, describes the investigatory process, and explains the role of the Research Integrity Officer (RIO). The policy applies to all individuals engaged in research at Harvard Chan School regardless of their role in the research project.
