The Deputy Director for Intramural Research (DDIR) is committed to full and open communication regarding possible research misconduct within the NIH Intramural Research Program.

You can choose to report anonymously or fill out the optional section six (6) if you agree to be contacted by the AIRIO for follow-up.
