At the Quest for Research Excellence (link is external) conference last month in Washington, D.C., the National Science Foundation (NSF) Inspector General, Allison Lerner, gave a presentation entitled, Research Integrity: Insights from the NSF Office of Inspector General. In her presentation, Ms. Lerner covered topics such as the Fraud Triangle, the NSF’s RCR training policy, best practices for RCR training, RCR training and mentoring, and best practices for research misconduct investigations. She ended the very informative presentation with a slide containing the NSF OIG’s favorite plagiarism excuses.
