Considerations for Developing Ethical Biomedical Grant Proposals for the National Institutes Of Health

Abstract

Highly trained medical writers are typically familiar with case studies of scientific misconduct, defined as data fabrication, data falsification, and plagiarism. However, less than 2% of researchers are thought to engage in scientific misconduct. In recognition that avoiding scientific misconduct is only a small part of research ethics, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released the following statement in 2009: “[R]esponsible conduct of research is defined as the practice of scientific investigation with integrity. It involves the awareness and application of established professional norms and ethical principles in the performance of all activities related to scientific research.” This guiding principle can be used to shape every aspect of our work when developing grant proposals.
