VHA Directive 1058: Office of Research Oversight (Nov 2024)

This revised directive sets forth the responsibilities of ORO; requires that certain research-related events be reported to ORO; establishes a requirement for VA medical facilities with research programs to appoint a VA medical facility Research Compliance Officer; and requires that each VA medical facility engaged in non-exempt human subjects research covered by the requirements of the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects hold a valid written assurance committing the facility to compliance with that Federal policy. NOTE: This directive incorporates and streamlines content previously contained in VHA Directive 1058.01, Research Compliance Reporting Requirements, dated October 22, 2020, and VHA Directive 1058.03, Assurance of Protection for Human Subjects in Research, dated September 17, 2020, both of which were rescinded by the issuance of revised VHA Directive 1058.

VHA Directive 1058.02: Research Misconduct (Jul 2020)

This directive establishes requirements for handling allegations of research misconduct (i.e., fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results) involving VA research.
