Abstrakt: We propose that institutions consider establishing a position of 'Ombudsman for Research Practice'. This person would assume several roles: as a sounding board to those needing confidential consultation about research issues - basic, applied or clinical; as a facilitator for those wishing to pursue a formal grievance process; and as an educator to distribute guidelines and standards, to raise the consciousness regarding sloppy or irregular practices in order to prevent misconduct and to promote the responsible conduct of research. While there are compelling features to this position, many complex issues need to be considered and resolved. We invite readers to respond to questions we raise in the text. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
