Opportunity Information: Apply for IR ORI 18 001
The grant opportunity titled "Announcement of the Anticipated Availability of Funds for Research on Research Integrity" (Funding Opportunity Number: IR ORI 18 001) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.085. The announcement was created on December 21, 2017, with an original application closing date of March 23, 2018. The overall aim is to support research projects that develop and test new, practical ways to strengthen research integrity and reduce or prevent research misconduct.
At the center of the FOA is the idea that research integrity is not just a general value statement, but a set of concrete behaviors and systems that can be studied, measured, and improved. In this announcement, integrity is defined as using honest and verifiable methods when proposing research questions, carrying out the work, evaluating results, and reporting findings. It also emphasizes compliance with rules, regulations, formal guidelines, and widely accepted professional norms. In other words, the opportunity is meant to fund research that looks at how integrity is practiced in real research environments and how organizations, incentives, training, oversight, and culture can either support good conduct or unintentionally increase the risk of misconduct.
The FOA is designed to foster innovative approaches, meaning it is not limited to traditional compliance-based education or generic ethics instruction. Competitive projects would likely be those that bring fresh thinking to long-standing problems, such as identifying risk factors for misconduct, building evidence-based prevention strategies, or evaluating interventions that change researcher behavior and decision-making. This can include studying how research teams operate, how mentorship and supervision affect integrity outcomes, how pressures related to funding and publication influence questionable practices, and how institutional policies are interpreted and applied in practice. The focus is on research about integrity itself, rather than funding scientific research in a separate field.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award. The announcement anticipates making about four awards, suggesting a competitive process with a relatively small number of funded projects. With that budget level, projects would likely be scoped as targeted studies, pilot interventions, evaluations of training or policy changes, or development and testing of tools and methods that can later be scaled. Applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with clarification expected in the full eligibility text, indicating that eligibility may extend beyond standard categories and could include a mix of institutions such as universities, research organizations, nonprofits, or other qualified entities depending on the detailed requirements in the full announcement.
In practical terms, this opportunity is about generating evidence that helps the research enterprise prevent misconduct before it occurs and improve the reliability of research outputs. It supports the idea that integrity can be improved through tested interventions, better systems, and a clearer understanding of what drives decisions in research settings. By funding a small set of projects with a defined budget cap, the FOA appears intended to catalyze focused, high-impact work that can inform policies, training models, institutional practices, and broader standards aimed at keeping research honest, verifiable, and trustworthy.Apply for IR ORI 18 001
