About the Research Integrity Grant Call


NTU regards the promotion of good research practices and adherence to the highest level of research integrity as being of major importance. The aim of this grant call is to promote and enhance the adoption of good research practices and contribute towards policy development. 

Our inaugural grant call on research integrity was launched in 2018, and focused on understanding how research integrity practices are viewed across the university at various levels and across disciplines. In 2019, this grant call aimed at understanding researchers’ behaviours that can affect the promotion of good practices in research integrity and ethics. The most recent grant call in 2020 evaluated best practices related to research data management and data integrity that could be applied to the University.
