- Mention REF briefing for RDsMission of the Impact and Evaluation Group is to 'propose a meaningful and workable way of evaluating the effectiveness of skills development in early career researchers'Research Councils UK (RCUK) has today (17 January 2013) unveiled its new Statement of Expectations for Equality and Diversity, which is intended to drive more rapid cultural change in the management of equality and diversity in institutions receiving Research Council funding. http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/media/news/2013news/Pages/120117.aspxA new Concordat for Engaging the Public with Research will be launched later today (7 December 2010) by the UK’s research funding bodies. The aim of the Concordat is to create a greater focus on and help embed public engagement with research across all disciplines in the higher education and research sectors.Formal agreement or 'concordat' about standards and integrity in UK research. This sets out five commitments that assure Government, the wider public and the international community, that the highest standards of rigour and integrity will continue to underpin research in the UK. Universities UK developed the concordat with the funding and research councils, the Wellcome Trust and a number of government departments. It was launched on 11 July 2012. Compliance with the concordat: We now require institutions eligible to receive our research funding to comply with the concordat. We have made this a condition of receiving HEFCE funds. Rob
