Office of Research Integrity

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) is a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that oversees research funded by the federal government. Its main role is to ensure that researchers conduct their work honestly and ethically. ORI investigates allegations of misconduct, such as fabrication or falsification of data, and promotes responsible research practices. By maintaining integrity in research, ORI helps protect the credibility of scientific findings and ensures that research serves the public good.
