Research Integrity Advisors
What is a Research Integrity Advisor and what do they do?
Research Integrity Advisors (RIA) provide advice to staff and students who have a concern about the conduct of research at the University. They can provide general information and advice about:
- the responsible conduct of research
- the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research
- policies and practices related to research
- strategies that may help staff or students resolve any concerns they have about research conduct
- how to lodge a concern for formal review.
Research Integrity Advisors do not:
- advocate for or on behalf of anyone involved in a possible concern about research conduct
- investigate or manage any formal allegations
- manage or provide advice about sexual misconduct, bullying or harassment. For these matters, contact your supervisor, Head of School, Campus Care, Human Resource Services or Complaints Office.
University staff and research students can find a list of Research Integrity Advisors on the Research Hub. Researchers and research students can also seek advice from the head of the research area, Head of School or the Research Integrity Unit at researchintegrity@newcastle.edu.au.
