Research misconduct has become a focus of federal funding agencies in the United States due to several public cases of egregious misbehavior by research faculty and staff. Institutions, including 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, that accept federal funding have an obligation to develop and appropriately implement a research misconduct policy (42 CFR Part 93).
Although federal policies technically apply only to federally funded research, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, in compliance with state and Nevada System of Higher Education policies, applies federal research misconduct policies to all research.
