Spotlight on Research Contracts
This section of the website shines a spotlight on the vital but often ‘unsung heroes’ of the research management world. Our spotlight this month falls on those involved in research contracting at GSTT and KCL.
Research contracts are vital for defining the terms and conditions under which research is conducted. They establish clear expectations and responsibilities for all parties involved, including funding, timelines, deliverables, and intellectual property rights. By formalizing agreements, research contracts help prevent misunderstandings and disputes, ensuring that projects run smoothly and efficiently. They also provide legal protection and accountability, fostering a collaborative environment that supports research, innovation and the successful completion of research objectives.

Spotlight on Research Governance
This section of the website shines a spotlight on the vital but often ‘unsung heroes’ of the research management world. Our spotlight this month falls on those involved in research governance at GSTT and KCL.
Research governance is crucial for ensuring the integrity, quality, and safety of research activities. It provides a framework that guides researchers in adhering to ethical standards, regulatory requirements, and best practices. Effective governance helps protect the rights and well-being of participants, ensures the reliability of data, and fosters public trust in research outcomes. By promoting transparency and accountability, research governance supports the advancement of knowledge while safeguarding against misconduct and ensuring that research benefits society as a whole.
