Policy on Alleged Misconduct in Research (Revised)

Effective: January 1, 2026

Applies to: All campuses


The revised policy aligns UConn’s procedures with the 2024 federal regulatory updates by adding a formal assessment stage, expanding required content for inquiry and investigation reports, extending timelines, clarifying definitions, and granting respondents greater access to records. It also consolidates UConn and UConn Health into a single policy, provides more flexibility in who may conduct inquiries, and clarifies confidentiality rules and institutional authority.
