Statement from the CEOs of the ARC and NHMRC: Bolstering Australian research integrity
At a time of increasing public scrutiny, maintaining responsible and ethical research practices is more important than ever. While research in Australia is overwhelmingly conducted to the standards expected by the Australian community, there are always opportunities to strengthen the system that safeguards those standards.
The ARC and NHMRC are working with Universities Australia to understand how Australia’s research integrity system is operating and where it can be further strengthened. By partnering with researchers and institutions across the country, we aim to enhance the quality, transparency and accountability of Australian research.
