Research Policies

Scientific Misconduct Policy
Anyone involved in sponsored projects at the School of Nursing should understand and practice responsible conduct of research.

Policy on Retention of Research Data and Materials
The Johns Hopkins University Research Administration has implemented this policy to protect the researcher and the university, while providing clarity governing the retention of research data.

Export Control Policy
Although the research projects conducted at Johns Hopkins are primarily fundamental due to the university's requirements for unrestricted dissemination and open access by everyone regardless of race, religion, or citizenship, Hopkins faculty, staff, and students in all departments and laboratories must understand their responsibilities in regard to these laws and comply with their standards when deemed appropriate.

Conflict of Interest Policy
Appointment to the faculty of The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing (JHUSON) carries the responsibility of directing one's principal professional effort and energy to the objectives of the School through teaching, research, practice and service. The faculty recognizes its obligation to report extramural professional activities annually and to seek prior review and approval of proposed extramural professional activities, which may present possible conflicts of interest or commitment with responsibilities to the University.
