Revisions to the Regulations Concerning the Investigation of Research Misconduct
捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Senate and Board of Governors approved revisions to the University鈥檚 Regulations Concerning the Investigation of Research Misconduct in spring 2021. As part of the regular three-year review cycle, the Regulations have been revised to better align with requirements of the federal Tri-Council Agencies and the provincial Fonds de recherche du Quebec (FRQ) as well as to streamline and simplify the internal processes.
The Regulations establish a procedural framework to ensure the promptness, impartiality, fairness, and transparency of 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 response to allegations of research misconduct.
