IUP is committed to the highest ethical standards with regard to scholarship conducted by all members of the university community, including faculty, managers, administrators, staff, and students (both undergraduate and graduate). Therefore, it is imperative that all those engaged in research-including undergraduate students-be aware of and adhere strictly to established policies and procedures designed to respond to any allegations or apparent instances of fraud or misconduct related to research activities.
IUP will deal forthrightly with allegations of misconduct associated with research. The university will conduct an inquiry and, if warranted, an investigation of any possible misconduct by IUP faculty, managers, administrators, staff, and students conducting research. If misconduct is determined to have taken place, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.
Additional policies are in place to protect research involving human subjects or animals and to ensure compliance with state and federal law.
Students engaged in research can find more information about IUP’s research policies, procedures, training, and other resources at www.iup.edu/research/policies.
