information (12 CFR part 271), there is 

set forth below the domestic policy 

directive issued by the Federal Open 

Market Committee at its meeting held

The Federal Open Market Committee 

seeks monetary and financial conditions 

that will foster price stability and 

promote sustainable growth in output. 

To further its long-run objectives, the 

Committee seeks conditions in reserve 

markets consistent with Federal funds 

trading in a range from 0 to 1⁄4 percent. 

The Committee directs the Desk to 

execute purchases of longer-term 

Treasury securities in order to increase

securities held in the System Open 

Market Account to approximately $2.6 

trillion by the end of June 2011. The 

Committee also directs the Desk to 

reinvest principal payments from 

agency debt and agency mortgagebacked securities in longer term 

Treasury securities. The System Open 

Market Account Manager and the 

Secretary will keep the Committee 

informed of ongoing developments

Proposed Project: Evaluation of the 

Effectiveness of an Educational 

Interactive Video on Research 

Integrity—OMB No. 0990–New–Office 

of Research Integrity. 

Abstract: The Office of Research 

Integrity (ORI) proposes to conduct a 

nine-month evaluation study of the 

effectiveness of an educational 

interactive video on research integrity. 

The study seeks to answer two 

questions: (a) Objectively, is the 

Educational Interactive Video for 

Research Integrity (EIVRI) effective in 

achieving learning outcomes? (b) 

Subjectively, do learners and teachers 

perceive the video simulation as 

effective in helping them learn and 

teach research integrity? To answer the 

first question, a pretest-posttest control 

group experimental design is used to 

assess the effectiveness of individual 

learning of research integrity principles 

and concepts through the use of the 

video simulation. The video simulation 

instruction will be incorporated into an 

existing syllabus for a research integrity 

or research ethics course for the 

treatment group. The control group will 

use the existing syllabus with no video 

simulation in class. Participants will be 

graduate students enrolled in these 

ethics courses to learn and apply the 

responsible conduct of research at 

educational institutions. Participants 

will fill out a demographics form to 

discern if they have had prior training 

experience in research integrity. Those 

who have prior training experience and 

those who do not have prior training 

experience will be randomly assigned to 

either the treatment group or the control 

group. The random assignment will be 

done by picking the last digit of each 

individual’s social security number for 

the two groups. The video simulation 

will be approximately four-hour long 

total. All students will take a pre-test 

quiz when they fill out the 

demographics form. Once the treatment 

is completed, all students will be asked 

to take a post-test quiz and answer a 

post-viewing questionnaire to capture 

their perceptions of the video 

simulation. 

To answer the second question, the 

study will collect qualitative data from 

semi-structured interviews as well as 

focus groups. The semi-structured 

interviews will be conducted twice with 

faculty who teach the courses in the first 

part of the study, in person or on the 

phone, before and after he/she uses the 

video simulation. Participants for the 

focus groups will be selected from the 

students who participate in the first part 

of the study. The focus group will last 

one hour.
