Research Guidance Team
Supporting ethical and high-quality research
The Academy’s Research Guidance Team provides guidance and support to researchers, practitioners, organisations and students undertaking research related to ethics, ethicality and professional practice.
Drawing on expertise from a range of disciplines and research traditions, the team encourages rigorous, ethically informed and thoughtfully designed research. Support may include discussing research ideas, refining research questions, considering research design, navigating ethical issues, and strengthening the overall quality of research proposals and projects.
Whether undertaking a first research project or leading an established programme of research, researchers can benefit from independent guidance that promotes confidence, critical thinking and responsible research practice.
