ThemesThe TETRIAS project
What is this about?
The Translating researchers’ Experiences into Training on Research Integrity at universities of Applied Sciences (TETRIAS) project aims to develop tailored training on research integrity for researchers in Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) in The Netherlands.
To determine what the training should cover, interviews with researchers in UAS are conducted.Why is this important?
In 2018, the universities of applied sciences (UASs) in the Netherlands signed the Dutch code of conduct on research integrity (RI). By doing so, the UASs have committed themselves to taking care of an open and safe research culture, a proper management of research data, honest and open agreements on the research data, setting research ethics standards and advice, and to the training of their researchers.
UASs themselves hardly offer any systematic training in the field of RI. Training in and explorations of research ethics take place mainly in individual research groups, in research meetings, or in review discussions. UASs usually send PhD students to courses given at the academic university of the primary supervisor. Courses such as the ‘Basic course on Regulations and Organization for Clinical Researchers' (Basiscursus Regelgeving en Organisatie voor Klinisch onderzoekers - BROK) and the Good Clinical Practice course, although freely accessible to researchers, often do not fit the needs of researchers as the majority are from non-medical areas. For most senior or junior researchers UASs themselves offer no proper training opportunities.
Our goal is to enable the UASs in The Netherlands to meet their obligation to provide their researchers access to a basic training course in the field of research integrity that is approved by the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences (Vereniging van Hogescholen, VvH). To fulfil that goal we will systematically develop a blended training course that provides online information on integrity topics and offers researchers the opportunity to deepen their understanding of issues, relevant for their specific situation, through group-discussions and meetings with experts.For whom is this important?
