Opportunity Information: Apply for IR ORI 20 001
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and its Office of Research Integrity (ORI), released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Announcement of the Availability of Funds for Research on Research Integrity" (Funding Opportunity Number: IR-ORI-20-001). Issued on June 5, 2020, this FY 2020 notice makes federal funds available under Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241), as delegated to the ORI Director. The overarching purpose is to support innovative, original research that strengthens research integrity by preventing research misconduct, improving the environment for reporting concerns, protecting individuals who speak up, and advancing responsible conduct of research both in the United States and internationally.
The program is designed for projects that move beyond training or compliance checklists and instead generate new knowledge about what actually works to deter misconduct and promote ethical research behavior. The solicitation highlights three core themes: first, prevention of research misconduct, meaning studies that examine risk factors, institutional and cultural drivers, and interventions that reduce fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism or related detrimental practices. Second, facilitation of whistleblowing and protection of whistleblowers, meaning research that explores how concerns are raised, what barriers deter reporting, what policies or structures enable safe reporting, and what practices best prevent retaliation or harm to reporters and other affected parties. Third, promotion of responsible conduct of research and the broader advancement of research integrity, which can include studying how norms, incentives, mentorship, peer review, authorship practices, data management, and research oversight influence integrity outcomes across disciplines and settings, including international collaborations.
The award structure indicates a grant mechanism with an anticipated maximum award amount (ceiling) of $150,000 per award and an expectation of roughly 10 awards, suggesting ORI intended to fund a small portfolio of focused projects rather than a single large center. The funding activity category is listed as Health and the CFDA number is 93.085, which aligns with ORI-related assistance listings. While the eligibility line is summarized as "Others" with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility field, the framing implies ORI was open to a range of applicant types beyond a single narrow category, potentially including academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and other eligible entities depending on the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement.
Operationally, the timeline for this opportunity opened with the posting date of June 5, 2020, and carried an original application deadline of August 4, 2020, with no change or extension noted. In practical terms, that provided about two months for applicants to propose research plans, define methods and measures, and outline deliverables that would produce actionable evidence for institutions, funders, journals, and policymakers. The emphasis on "innovative original research" signals that ORI was looking for projects that can test interventions, evaluate policies, or develop and validate tools and metrics that help organizations detect problems early, support ethical decision-making, and create safer, more trustworthy research environments.
In short, this funding opportunity supported applied research aimed at improving how the research ecosystem prevents misconduct, encourages and safeguards reporting of concerns, and promotes responsible conduct, with modestly sized grants intended to yield practical insights that can be used to strengthen research integrity domestically and in international contexts.Apply for IR ORI 20 001
