The School is deeply concerned for the integrity of science conducted by students and faculty and with sound and safe research practices. Student and faculty researchers are, individually and collectively, expected to safeguard and maintain the University’s policies and practices and to avoid scientific misconduct. Students taking part in research involving human subjects or research involving the use of animals must comply with all Federal, State, and University policies. Questions about these compliance obligations should be directed to the HMS Office for Research Subject Protection at 617-432-3192 or http://www.hms.harvard.edu/orsp. All researchers are reminded that sponsoring agencies also have such concerns, that the School must inform sponsors of serious transgressions of sponsors’ policies as well as of any investigations related to sponsored research and that sponsors may act independent of HMS. See also Section 10.04, Office for Research Subject Protection.

Violations of this policy may result in a requirement to withdraw (with or without a recommendation for dismissal or expulsion), even if the student has had no prior disciplinary record.
