Abstract

Research Funding Organizations (RFOs) play an important role in promoting research integrity (RI). Not only do they allocate resources to research institutions and researchers, but they also set and monitor research standards in their funded projects. In spite of their crucial role, there is a paucity of guidance on how RFOs can promote research integrity. As part of the EU-Funded SOPs4RI project, we aimed to address this gap by co-creating guidelines to help RFOs promote RI, engaging a diverse group of stakeholders. Based on a Delphi survey, reviews of evidence and stakeholder interviews, three guideline topics were identified: 1) the selection and evaluation of proposals; 2) monitoring of funded projects; and 3) prevention of unjustified interference. Four sets of co-creation workshops were conducted for each guideline topic, and the input revised and finalized. Understanding these debates could help RFOs from diverse cultural and organizational backgrounds who are developing their own RI guidelines. Therefore, in this paper, we summarize the key results and emphasize the final recommendations. Further, we provide the main points of discussion that occurred during the workshops and explain how they were addressed or resolved in the final guidelines and how they can help in future endeavors to improve funders' practices to foster RI.

促进科研诚信资助:共同制定研究资助组织准则。
研究资助组织 (RFO) 在促进研究诚信 (RI) 方面发挥着重要作用。它们不仅向研究机构和研究人员分配资源,而且还制定并监督其资助项目的研究标准。尽管 RFO 发挥着至关重要的作用,但关于 RFO 如何促进研究诚信的指导却很少。作为欧盟资助的 "SOPs4RI "项目的一部分,我们的目标是通过与不同的利益相关者共同制定指导方针,帮助 RFO 促进 RI,从而填补这一空白。在德尔菲调查、证据审查和利益相关者访谈的基础上,确定了三个指南主题:1) 筛选和评估提案;2) 监督受资助项目;3) 防止不合理干预。针对每个准则主题举办了四次共同创造研讨会,并对意见进行了修订和定稿。了解这些辩论有助于来自不同文化和组织背景的 RFO 制定自己的 RI 准则。因此,我们在本文中总结了主要成果,并强调了最终建议。此外,我们还提供了研讨会期间的讨论要点,并解释了这些要点是如何在最终指南中得到处理或解决的,以及这些要点如何有助于今后改进资助者促进 RI 的做法。
