Month: February 2025

Join us for an insightful presentation on research protection and ethical collaboration. American universities lead the way in cutting-edge research, but when this research is exploited by individuals with nefarious intentions, it can have serious consequences—tarnishing reputations, leading to funding losses, lab closures, and legal issues.

This session, presented by the FBI, will focus on: Steps to secure intellectual property and research materials and proper practices for collaborating with international universities.

DATE: March 6, 2025

TIME: 12:00 pm

PRESENTER: Nathan Livesey, FBI-WMD Coordinator

Location: G100 BRC (IN-PERSON ONLY)

The narrow federal definition of Research Misconduct–Fabrication/Falsification/Plagiarism–does not account for all sorts of other bad practices, including unprofessional conduct, which can include but is not limited to harassment, bullying, etc. This presentation will include how professional misconduct is defined, how these behaviors impact research integrity, how to prevent and report misconduct in all forms, and the potential outcomes.

Presenter: Robin Tyndall, Director of the Office of Research Compliance

When: February 20, 2025 from 12 PM – 1 PM
