Plagiarism in a Grant Proposal
Author(s):
Caroline Whitbeck
You are making steady progress on the research for the doctorate working in Large Lab and have written a report for Large Lab on some of that experimental work. Another group in Large Lab has been desperate for grant support to allow another student to finish up a master's degree. After one of their proposals is funded, you note that what they proposed to do is exactly what you already did and described in your report for Large Lab.
What can or should you do?
What is the relative seriousness of plagiarism in a proposal and plagiarism in a publication?
How, if at all, might some of the damage be remedied?
