Research integrity policy

Ensuring we always carry out excellent research

Our research integrity policy sets out the ways in which we support best practices and our expectations for standards in this area.

With this document, we:

  • fulfil an obligation to maintain Independent Research Organisation (IRO) status with the UKRI
  • outline how we monitor research misconduct and conflict of interest in research
  • lay the first stones to build around other dimensions of a good research culture
  • start a conversation across teams to draw on research expertise and inform next steps
