Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 Announcement of the Anticipated Availability of Funds for Phase I Research on Research Integrity (Funding Opportunity Number IR ORI 15 001) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, through the Office of Research Integrity (ORI). It is designed to stimulate innovative, empirical research that helps explain why research integrity is strengthened in some settings and weakened in others. The central aim is to generate evidence about the societal, organizational, group, and individual factors that can influence integrity in research in either positive or negative ways. In this announcement, research integrity is framed in practical, behavioral terms: using honest and verifiable methods when proposing, conducting, and evaluating research, and accurately reporting results, with particular attention to following applicable rules, regulations, guidelines, and widely accepted professional norms and codes.
This FOA supports Phase I research, which typically signals early-stage or foundational work intended to build, test, or refine ideas, measures, and approaches that can later be scaled or expanded. The opportunity sits within the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.085 (Research on Research Integrity). The intent is not simply to promote compliance training or restate standards, but to encourage studies that actually examine what drives integrity-related behaviors and outcomes across different environments and populations. Projects might focus on how institutional policies, lab climate, mentoring practices, incentive structures, publication pressures, peer norms, supervision, team dynamics, or individual decision-making processes shape adherence to responsible research practices. The emphasis on empirical research highlights that ORI is looking for measurable, evidence-producing studies that can inform real-world interventions, organizational design, oversight approaches, and professional practice.
In terms of award structure, the announcement anticipates making approximately 12 awards. The funding level is fixed: both the award ceiling and the award floor are listed as $75,000, indicating that each award is expected to be for $75,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of receiving the grant. Key dates included a posted date of January 21, 2015, and an application closing date of April 20, 2015, with the opportunity later archived on May 20, 2015. These dates place the opportunity in a defined FY2015 funding cycle with a single closing deadline.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes a wide range of applicant types. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, with explicit encouragement for institutions that serve historically underrepresented groups, such as Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Beyond academia, eligibility extends to nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city or township, special districts, and tribal governments, including both federally recognized and other-than-federally recognized). The FOA also lists eligible agencies of the federal government, U.S. territories or possessions, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and foreign institutions. Non-U.S. entities can apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also eligible, signaling interest in research integrity questions that may be examined in diverse international contexts as well as within the United States.
For applicants needing help or seeking clarification, the program contact listed is Ann A. Hohmann, Ph.D., M.P.H., at HHS/OASH Office of Research Integrity, with phone number 240-453-8431 and email Ann.Hohmann@hhs.gov. Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted, modest-dollar investment intended to seed rigorous studies that explain what shapes responsible conduct in research and how systems, cultures, and individual choices interact to influence integrity across the research enterprise.
