Responsible Conduct of Research
As the University of Calgary turns its Eyes High through sharpening our focus on research and the quality and breadth of learning, we remain
committed to the foundations of scholarly activity.
A pillar of our research enterprise is our relationship with Tri-Council. Recently, the guidelines for how we work with Tri-Council have changed.
Tri-Council's new framework outlines the responsibilities and necessary policies for researchers, institutions, and the Agencies that help to
support and promote a positive research environment.
Effective March 31, 2013 researchers are responsible for adhering to the standards outlined in the framework for all research activity at the U of
C regardless of the funding source.
What's Changed?
The central change is an administrative one: now, instead of reporting a creditable allegation to the faculty, there will be an institutional
lead to oversee each specific situation. Protected Disclosure Officer will work with the individual to assess and determine the next steps with
each claim.
The University of Calgary's Investigating a Breach of Research Integrity procedure hyperlink outlines the administrative infrastructure to
support this new framework. It includes a central office for receiving and processing allegations that breach the requirements for responsible
conduct of research and outlines the process to both make and investigate allegations.
Conducting Research at the University of Calgary
It is the responsibility of all researchers to follow the best research practices honestly, accountably, openly and fairly as they ensure they meet
the requirements of applicable University policies and all while abiding by applicable laws and regulations. It is imperative faculty are aware of
and meet their responsibilities as researchers hyperlink as set out by institutional policy. Further, it is important the entire research community
is aware of how to report an allegation of a breach of research integrity.
The Responsible Conduct of Research framework and the university's policies and procedures work in tandem to provide training and resources
for the research community. The University of Calgary is committed to ensuring that research and scholarly activities are carried out under the
highest standards of ethical conduct and adhere to applicable laws and the requirements of funding partners accreditation authorities.
