About Us

Southern Miss is committed to the integrity of research and scholarship. At the Office of Research Integrity (ORI), we support this commitment in several ways by:

  • Managing the Research and Scholarly Integrity Assurance Program (CITI),
  • Sponsoring various educational activities and workshops,
  • Reviewing relevant University policies,
  • and overseeing both the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).

The University of Southern Mississippi's Federalwide Assurance (FWA) number is FWA00002393 and IORG is IORG0001657. 

Dr.%20Melissa%20Thompson serves as the University’s Research Integrity Officer (RIO) and is the person to contact regarding scholarly misconduct issues.
