Expectations for research performing organisations

It is recommended that in research grant application forms RFOs add a section in which RPOs briefly describe their existing or emerging RIPP. The standards and requirements of such a RIPP are outlined in the RPO guidelines developed in the SOIPs4RI study and include compliance with RI codes of conduct, fair assessment procedures for hiring and promotion, proper RI training and education, appropriate support for supervision and mentoring, procedures for data management, research collaboration agreements, declaration of interests, and processes for investigating allegations of misconduct.
