SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Office of Research Integrity 
(ORI) has made final findings of scientific misconduct in the following 
case:

    Catherine Coyle, ISOLAB, Inc. An investigation conducted by the 
ISOLAB found that Ms. Coyle, a former laboratory technician, falsified 
and misreported the results of assays for fetal hemoglobin data 
generated for Johns Hopkins' Multicenter Study of Hydroxyurea in Sickle 
Cell Anemia in biomedical research supported by Public Health Service 
funds under a cooperative agreement. Ms. Coyle admitted that she 
misrepresented data submitted to the Johns Hopkins clinical hydroxyurea 
study. There were no publications involved. Ms. Coyle executed a 
Voluntary Exclusion and Settlement Agreement in which she has agreed 
not to apply for Federal grant or contract funds and will not serve on 
PHS advisory committees, boards or peer review groups for a three-year 
period beginning March 27, 1995.
