Reports can be made anonymously, which means the reporting party does not have to identify themselves. However, Civil Specialists will have to follow up on information provided and the reporting party’s identity may become apparent during the administrative inquiry process. Please note that remaining anonymous requires key details about the allegation or concern to be omitted, which will limit the NIH’s ability to conduct an inquiry and take corrective action as warranted.
