PROCEDIMIENTOS DE SUSPENSION Y FINALIZACION PARA LOS PROYECTOS DEL IAI

The document outlines the IAI's framework for managing the suspension and cancellation of project funding. It defines suspension as a temporary halt and cancellation as a permanent withdrawal of support. Funding can be terminated due to non-compliance with terms, mutual agreement, or scientific misconduct. The guide details the notification process, a 30-day window for corrective action, and a formal appeals process managed by the Executive Council. It also defines scientific misconduct as including fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism, placing the primary responsibility for detecting such ethics violations on the grant recipients (concessionaires).

• The IAI distinguishes between 'suspension', which is a temporary total or partial stop of financial support, and 'cancellation', which is the definitive withdrawal of support before a project's termination.
• Financial support may be suspended or cancelled if the recipient fails to comply with established terms, if there is a lack of scientific ethics, by mutual agreement, or for other reasonable causes determined by the IAI.
• When the IAI identifies non-compliance, the Director provides written notice, and the recipient has 30 calendar days to respond with a corrective plan before a suspension is issued.
• Suspensions typically last a maximum of 60 days to allow for corrective actions; if the deficiency is not rectified, the Director may proceed with a cancellation notice.
• Recipients may appeal a cancellation by submitting a written notice via certified mail to the IAI Representative and the President of the Executive Council within 30 days of the notification.
• Scientific misconduct is defined as lying, falsification, plagiarism, or serious deviations from accepted practices in proposing or reporting IAI-funded activities, as well as retaliation against whistleblowers.
• Grant recipients (concessionaires) hold the primary responsibility for preventing and detecting scientific misconduct, including initiating inquiries and subsequent investigations.
