| Subject: Duke to pay $112.5M to settle claims over falsified research: DOJ Mon Mar 25, 2019 10:35 pm | |
| Duke University has agreed to settle allegations of scientific research misconduct for $112.5 million, the Department of Justice announced Monday.
Between 2006 and 2018, the university "knowingly" submitted claims to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that included falsified or fabricated data in 30 grants, according to the Justice Department.
Both agencies provide millions in grant funding to the university every year, the Justice Department said.
“Duke knowingly, the government contended, falsified data to claim millions of grant dollars from the National Institutes of Health,” said Maureen Dixon, the special agent in charge at the Department of Health and Human Service's Office of Inspector General, in a statement.
