October 11, 2023 – Protecting & Promoting Quality and Integrity in Research

What can we do to create and support an environment where research quality and integrity are at the core of the research endeavor? There are several key principles to building this culture, which promotes and protects quality and integrity in research by generating programs that are inclusive so that all stakeholders can participate; comprehensive, including components that include education, oversight and accountability; multifaceted, providing a holistic approach across all dimensions of research integrity; pragmatic by providing resources and tools that make it easy to do the right thing; and empowering, so that all community members and stakeholders can speak up. Beginning in 2018, Duke began implementing a Research Quality Management Program, a program that embodies these principles, which was implemented to innovate and promote best practices in research quality and accountability. This talk will describe the components that support a research environment where quality and integrity are built into the fabric of the research enterprise to promote excellence accountability.
