Abstract
Recent global attention to research integrity has led to international meetings and the development of international policies and guidelines. The United States's infrastructure for fostering research integrity (policy, instruction, oversight) has usefully supported these international initiatives. The United States cannot and should not, however, expect other national and global systems to match exactly its approach to research integrity.

The conference was sponsored by the U.S. Office of Research Integrity and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for the purpose of reviewing the ORI's role over the preceding 20 years, current problems facing the research community, and ideas for the Office's next 10 years (The Active Network, 2013)
