Stanford Fined Over Nondisclosure of Foreign Funds

Stanford University (CA) has agreed to pay $1.9 million to resolve allegations that proposals for research grants failed to disclose support that faculty members were receiving from abroad, the U.S. Justice Department said Monday. The government had charged under the False Claims Act that on 16 proposals for grants from federal agencies — including the Army and Navy — Stanford “knowingly failed” to disclose foreign funding that 11 Stanford researchers had received or expected to receive in direct support of their research.
