We wouldn’t need an ORI if FedGov got out of the research business, which is clearly NOT among the enumerated powers.
Just sayin’
“David Wright makes no mention of a recent letter to ORI from Senator Charles Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who has complained that ORI was not tough enough on an AIDS researcher at Iowa State University who faked data to obtain nearly $19 million in NIH funding. ORI barred the researcher, Dong-Pyou Han, from participating in PHS-funded research for 3 years, but Grassley has asked why ORI did not make him return federal grant money or impose harsher sanctions (more at Retraction Watch).”
So, if you get $19 million in grant money how much of that do you pay yourself?
