Misconduct in Research Scholarship and Creative Activities
Misconduct in Research Scholarship and Creative Activities
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs is responsible for fostering a research environment that promotes the responsible conduct of research, discourages research misconduct, and addresses allegations of possible research misconduct under Articles I and V of the Law of Regents, APS 1007, and requirements of federal agencies. The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) webpage includes more information on research misconduct and other topics in research ethics, as well as upcoming RCR training events.
The Committee for Misconduct in Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities (CMRSCA) investigates allegations of research misconduct.
Reporting Suspected Research Misconduct
If you have knowledge of or reason to believe that research misconduct has occurred, you can contact the university Research Integrity Officer (RIO) or a CMRSCA committee member directly or visit the CU EthicsPoint Hotline. The Guidelines and Procedures for Research Misconduct Allegations provides additional information on what to expect.
Committee on Misconduct in Research Scholarship and Creative Activities Members
CMRSCA meets at least twice each academic year, once in fall and once in spring. Additional meetings are called by the Chair of CMRSCA as necessary.
