All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. ### Brief Description of Requirement The overall aim of this project is to generate evidence about methods for effective governance of research misconduct in the UK HEI research sector. This includes how the system manages individual behaviour that constitutes misconduct as well as how incidents of misconduct are managed and reported by the HEI sector. This evidence will be used to inform the UK Committee on Research Integrity's cross-sector working group on addressing poor research practice and misconduct. In addition to exploring the current UK model which is supported by the research system, both within and outside of HEIs, the project is expected to identify opportunities to strengthen or amend current practice. The project will draw on international models for the governance of research misconduct within HEIs, and practice in UK governance systems from comparable sectors outside of, or adjacent to, the HEI research sector.
