Title: Public Health Service Standards for the Protection of Research Misconduct Whistleblowers 
Abstract: To implement section 493(e) of the Public Health Service Act (added by sec. 163 of the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, Pub. L. 103-43), the Department is proposing to add a new part 94 to title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Under this proposed regulation, covered institutions must follow certain requirements for preventing and responding to occurrences of retaliation against whistleblowers. The purpose of this part is to protect: 1) Persons who make a good faith allegation that a covered institution or member thereof engaged in, or failed to respond adequately, to an allegation of research misconduct; and 2) persons who cooperate in good faith with an investigation of research misconduct.
