Findings of Research Misconduct 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) 

and the Assistant Secretary for Health 

have taken final action in the following 

case: 

James David Lieber, University of 

California at Los Angeles: Based on the 

findings of an inquiry report by the 

University of California at Los Angeles 

(UCLA) and additional analysis and 

information obtained by the Office of 

Research Integrity (ORI) during its 

oversight review, the U.S. Public Health 

Service (PHS) found that James David 

Lieber, Staff Research Associate, Semel 

Institute for Neuroscience and Human 

Behavior, Integrated Substance Abuse 

Programs, UCLA, engaged in research 

misconduct in research funded by 

National Institute on Drug Abuse 

(NIDA), National Institutes of Health 

(NIH), grant R01 DA15390. 

Mr. Lieber knowingly and 

intentionally falsified and fabricated 

multiple follow-up interviews, urine 

samples, and urine sample records of 

human subject study participants and 

entered such false and fabricated data 

into the study’s data base. A total of 914 

follow-up interviews of opiate users 

were planned to be completed as part of 

a study of gender differences in a follow 

up of opiate users in California. Mr. 

Lieber was assigned to interview 53 of 

the 132 subjects located for the followup study. Over a six-month period, Mr. 

Lieber falsely claimed to have 

conducted face-to-face interviews for 

the study while subsequent contacts 

with the subjects revealed that they had 

not been interviewed for the study. A 

review by the institution determined 

that the respondent fabricated 

interviews for 20 of the 53 interviews 

assigned to him. In addition, he falsified 

the urine specimens for those 20 

subjects and caused the entry of false 

information into the study tracking and 

locating data base for 11 subjects. 

Aggravating factors included the theft of 

$5180 for incentive payments to 

subjects and travel expenses. 

ORI has implemented the following 

administrative actions for a period of 

three (3) years, beginning on July 2, 

2007: 

(1) Mr. Lieber is debarred from 

eligibility for any contracting or 

subcontracting with any agency of the 

United States Government and from 

eligibility or involvement in 

nonprocurement programs of the United 

States Government referred to as 

‘‘covered transactions’’ as defined in 

HHS’ implementation of OMB 

Guidelines to Agencies on 

Governmentwide Debarment and 

Suspension at 2 CFR part 376, et seq.; 

and 

(2) Mr. Lieber is prohibited from 

serving in any advisory capacity to PHS, 

including but not limited to service on 

any PHS advisory committee, board, 

and/or peer review committee, or as a 

consultant.
