You may find it helpful to consider the following broad headings: • Policies and systems • Communications and engagement • Culture, development and leadership • Monitoring and reporting As part of its grant terms and conditions, all Wellcome funded organisations and researchers are required to comply with all relevant legal and ethical requirements, as well as the Concordat to Support Research Int. [...] Drawing on Commitment 3 of the Concordat, please note any new or revised policies, practices and procedures to support researchers; training on research ethics and research integrity; training and mentoring opportunities to support the development of researchers’ skills throughout their careers. [...] Wellcome regularly reviews its policies and this resulted in the introduction of an EDI policy and amendments to the Bullying and Harassment policy during 2023. [...] Through the Concordat to Support Research Integrity Signatories group we will help to: • Be part of the working group for the quinquennial review of the Concordat • Take part in the Annual Research Integrity Forum With other funders, we will input where relevant to: • Assist with the work of UKCoRI • Identify areas to reduce administrative burden, in alignment with the BEIS Review on Research Bure. [...] Whilst not categorised under the research misconduct groupings, our bullying, harassment, abuse and harm policy relates to the management of research culture, which is known to be linked to research integrity.
