Description of Code of Conduct Concern *

IDA is responsible for taking prompt and appropriate action in any case where it becomes aware of potential misconduct, malfeasance, or inadvertent errors related to its Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. IDA believes its obligation to do the right thing when faced with these issues is just as important as satisfying its legal obligations to investigate, address, and (where necessary) report any such problems. While not an exhaustive list, these problems could include:

Task overcharges, mischarges, or mismanagement of task resources;
Conflicts of interest (not already reported via IDA's conflicts of interest reporting system), including violations of post-employment ethics restrictions;
Bribery, gratuities, gifts, or other inappropriate benefits received by IDA employees or given by IDA employees to Government personnel;
Improper use of Government property (including badges, passes, approvals, or other documents) or computer system
Improper use or disclosure of proprietary, sensitive, or classified information;
Workplace injuries, dangerous conditions, or accommodations (not already reported to Human Resources);
Workplace discrimination, harassment, violence, threats, aggression or other inappropriate workplace behavior;
Threats or indications of a potential lawsuit, investigation, or other adversarial proceeding involving IDA;
Violations of an ethics letter by a former Government employee;
Scientific misconduct (including plagiarism, copyright violations, falsification of research, or unapproved human subjects research);
Family, romantic, or other personal relationships between employees, sponsors, contractors, or consultants (not already disclosed to IDA Human Resources).
