About Research Integrity 

Research Integrity training is now a requirement for receipt of grant funding from many funders. To meet this need, UKRIO has worked with University College London to develop an online training course that provides a thorough introduction to research integrity. The course is applicable to all disciplines and provides a comprehensive grounding in research integrity for those new to the topic as well as an essential refresher for more experienced staff. 

It is designed for anyone conducting or managing research in any discipline, including early career researchers (research students, post-doctorates and fellows), technicians, and more experienced staff who need refresher training. 

About this Course 

This self-paced online course is structured into three interactive modules, with support for further learning provided by easy access and signposting to relevant institutional and/or external guidance.  

By the end of the course, you will have a foundational understanding of: 

  • What research integrity means and why it matters. 
  • The approach to research integrity in the UK. 
  • What it means to lead by example and how to build an environment with a good research integrity culture. 

This course should take around 90 minutes to complete, across 3 modules, and a certificate will be available for download upon course completion. As this course is a pilot, feedback about your learning experience may be sought by UKRIO or Strathclyde staff.
