UT Southwestern Medical Center maintains the highest standards of scientific rigor and ethical conduct in research programs. Research misconduct undermines the credibility of the institution, damages public trust in biomedical research, and puts funding for current and future research projects in jeopardy. Policies have been established to promote and support the responsible conduct of researchers by our faculty, trainees and staff.

Any concerns or questions about the integrity of research conducted at UT Southwestern should be addressed to the Office of Research Integrity. All inquiries and allegations are handled confidentially. A link to UTSW’s stated policy on Research Misconduct can be found here.
