42 CFR 93.210 : Public Health (Part 1 To Parts 1009-1099) — (Part 1 To Chapters Ii-Iii) — Public Health Service, Department Of Health And Human Services (Part 1 To Parts 138-199) — Health Assessments And Health Effects Studies Of Hazardous Substances Releases And Facilities (§ 90.1 To § 93.523) — Public Health Service Policies On Research Misconduct (§ 93.25 To § 93.523) — Definitions (§ 93.200 To § 93.227) — Good faith.

Good faith as applied to a complainant or witness, means having a belief in the truth of one's allegation or testimony that a reasonable person in the complainant's or witness's position could have based on the information known to the complainant or witness at the time. An allegation or cooperation with a research misconduct proceeding is not in good faith if made with knowing or reckless disregard for information that would negate the allegation or testimony. Good faith as applied to a committee member means cooperating with the research misconduct proceeding by carrying out the duties assigned impartially for the purpose of helping an institution meet its responsibilities under this part. A committee member does not act in good faith if his/her acts or omissions on the committee are dishonest or influenced by personal, professional, or financial conflicts of interest with those involved in the research misconduct proceeding.
