PROCEDIMIENTOS DE SUSPENSION Y FINALIZACION PARA LOS PROYECTOS DEL IAI

The document outlines the conditions under which the IAI may suspend or terminate a grant, including material failure to comply with terms, mutual agreement, or scientific misconduct. It details the notification process, the right of beneficiaries to request informal dispute resolution through the Executive Council, and the specific protocols for investigating and penalizing scientific malpractice.

• The IAI defines 'suspension' as the temporary withdrawal of financial support until corrections are made or the grant is terminated, while 'termination' is the total or partial cancellation of a grant before its expiration date.
• Grants may be suspended or terminated by the IAI if the beneficiary fails to comply with terms, for other reasonable causes, due to scientific misconduct, by mutual agreement, or by the beneficiary's own written request.
• Standard procedure for IAI-initiated suspension requires a written warning and a 30-day window for the beneficiary to respond with a corrective plan, although the IAI may act immediately without notice to protect the interests of the Institute or its Member Countries.
• Beneficiaries can seek informal dispute resolution for specific issues, such as denied expenses, suspensions exceeding 60 days, termination orders, or the final agreed amount upon termination, by submitting a certified letter to the President of the Executive Council within 30 days of the decision.
• Scientific misconduct is defined as fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or retaliation against whistleblowers; the IAI may respond with reprimands, restriction of activities, suspension/termination of grants, or exclusion from future funding.
• Beneficiaries hold the primary responsibility for detecting and preventing scientific misconduct, including initiating inquiries and conducting investigations, though they must notify the IAI immediately if an initial inquiry finds substance or if there are imminent health threats or risks to IAI's reputation.
