When people break the law, there must be strong penalties,” said Congressman Haridopolos. “Whether it is falsifying research data, manipulating grant applications, concealing foreign funding, or violating federal requirements, these actions undermine the integrity of federally funded research and erode public trust in our institutions.” Click here or on the image above to watch Rep.
