The letter noted that OHRP now routinely bypasses its own procedures for investigating allegations of misconduct, which in turn signals to the research community that there is little chance the agency will investigate even serious allegations of regulatory violations.https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/public_citizen_shared_link.jpg1200628
