The Investigator(s) shall use best efforts to complete the investigation within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days of the date on which it began, including conducting the investigation, preparing the report of findings, providing the draft report for comment, and sending the final report to ORI, if applicable. If it becomes apparent that the investigation cannot be completed within that period, the VPR shall promptly request an extension in writing from Office of Research Integrity, if applicable.

Investigation Timelines. Xxxxx will make every effort to initiate contact with the person reporting a concern in the context of an investigation within five business days of receiving a report. If an employee has reported a concern and not heard from someone about an investigation after five business days, the employee should feel comfortable elevating your concern directly to the Director of Operations or Office Director. In most cases, Verso hopes to complete investigations and assign resolutions within forty-five business days of receiving a report. To facilitate this effort, all stakeholders who participate in the process are expected to cooperate fully with the Investigator and to provide information as accurately and as completely as possible. Of course, where matters can be investigated and resolved more quickly, they will be. The timeline for investigations may be extended: • where the complexity of the investigation requires more time; • where necessary and appropriate accommodations are needed for individuals participating in any investigation; or • where capacity limitations dictate.
