Research Governance

This Code of Practice for Research provides a framework for the governance of all research throughout Birmingham Newman University. It requires all those undertaking and/or contributing to research to adhere to the highest standards of performance and ethical conduct, and embed good practice in all aspects of their work. They must operate honestly and openly in respect of their own actions and in response to the actions of others involved in research. This document should be read in conjunction with any other policies, procedures or guidance issued by Birmingham Newman University. Also, it should be considered in consultation with the Code of Practice for Research of the UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO) as well as the Research Councils UK (RCUK) Policy and Code of Conduct on the Governance of Good Research Conduct.
