Research Misconduct Findings (HHS ORI + NSF OIG)

Dataset · HHS Office of Research Integrity / NSF Office of Inspector General · primary source ↗

Every formal finding of research misconduct (fabrication, falsification, plagiarism) published as a Federal Register notice. 209 findings since 1999. Each names a specific researcher and details the federal grants involved + administrative actions taken (debarment, supervised research, retraction requirements). HHS ORI presents this poorly via a Drupal Views UI that indexes only ~30; we pull the canonical set from the FR API.
