[Research Integrity website](https://facultyresources.fas.harvard.edu/research-integrity) provides information to support the stewardship of strong research data, managing conflict, communication, and/or behavioral concerns to avoid misunderstandings that may lead to allegations of research misconduct, and fostering an environment of transparency and stronger data integrity among members of a research team.

If you have a concern regarding research misconduct pertaining to research conducted within the FAS/SEAS, contact the FAS Research Integrity Office at [researchintegrity@fas.harvard.edu](mailto:///researchintegrity@fas.harvard.edu).

You can also contact Harvard’s [Anonymous Reporting Hotline](https://reportinghotline.harvard.edu/about-hotline) by submitting a report online or calling 1-877-694-2ASK.
