Introduction to Research Ethics and Integrity In-Person
Research ethics and integrity is an integral part of the research ecosystem at KAUST. It is therefore paramount that our research community is familiar with institutional policies and procedures concerning the governance of research compliance. This workshop is aimed at sharing information about the governance structure as well as the research ethics committees (RECs) or review boards at KAUST. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the submission processes and timelines for these RECs as well as the institutional mechanism for reporting non-compliance (e.g., allegations of research misconduct) and research-related grievances.
Objectives and Outcome
The primary aim of this workshop is to enable the KAUST research community to conduct research with the highest ethical standards, and to promote research that is compliant with KAUST policies and procedures as well as international best practices and standards.
