Title: | Promoting research integrity in funding: Co-creating guidelines for research funding organizations | Authors: | Jegan, Roshni Labib, Krishma Dierickx, Kris AUBERT BONN, Noemie Tijdink, Joeri Marusic, Ana Pizzolato, Daniel |
Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC | Source: | Accountability in research, | Status: | Early view | Abstract: | Research Funding Organizations (RFOs) play an important role in promoting research integrity (RI). Not only do they allocate resources to research institutions and researchers, but they also set and monitor research standards in their funded projects. In spite of their crucial role, there is a paucity of guidance on how RFOs can promote research integrity. As part of the EU-Funded SOPs4RI project, we aimed to address this gap by co-creating guidelines to help RFOs promote RI, engaging a diverse group of stakeholders. Based on a Delphi survey, reviews of evidence and stakeholder interviews, three guideline topics were identified: 1) the selection and evaluation of proposals; 2) monitoring of funded projects; and 3) prevention of unjustified interference. Four sets of co-creation workshops were conducted for each guideline topic, and the input revised and finalized. Understanding these debates could help RFOs from diverse cultural and organizational backgrounds who are developing their own RI guidelines. Therefore, in this paper, we summarize the key results and emphasize the final recommendations. Further, we provide the main points of discussion that occurred during the workshops and explain how they were addressed or resolved in the final guidelines and how they can help in future endeavors to improve funders' practices to foster RI. | Notes: | Jegan, R (corresponding author), Katholieke Univ Leuven, Ctr Biomed Ethics & Law, Dept Publ Hlth & Primary Care, Kapucijnenvoer 7,Block G,A and N-H, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium. roshni.jegan@kuleuven.be |
