Getting additional training is one common requirement for investigators who are subjects of noncompliance determinations. While full-blown misconduct findings are rare, they do happen, and often have their roots in compliance-related problems.
A recent article in the journal Nature found that investigators subject to action by their home institutions (e.g. having their research privileges suspended) aren’t necessarily bad people, or bad investigators. These authors base their findings on their experiences leading an education program designed to help these people regain their ability to do research. They report, “Researchers in our programme do not display personality traits that are distinct from the general population of scientists. We believe that most researchers may be susceptible, and that the busiest ones are most likely to err.”
We encourage you to read the full report, and think about what we can do at UAMS and ACH to minimize the chances of misconduct occurring here.
