Good research practice: Principles and guidelines
The Medical Research Council (MRC) is dedicated to improving human health through excellent medical research. The MRC expects that the research it supports is conducted according to the highest achievable standards of research practice in order to ensure the integrity of the research and outputs.
This document is part of the MRC’s ethics series and sets out the MRC’s expectations for MRC research units and institutes, MRC university units, MRC centres and MRC grant holders in the form of principles, guidelines and standards to foster good research practice in all MRC-funded research. While it is primarily for those involved in research supported, in whole or in part, by the MRC, we hope it will also be useful to others.
