The Valuing Voices for Equitable and Responsible Research project supports best practice in research and research culture.
Valuing Voices aims to address hierarchies inherent in research environments, and to support research staff to find practical ways to conduct research ethically and responsibly. Our objective is to create an embedded culture of equitable relationships within the research community, between research teams and the wider public, and a responsible and results-driven approach to research design that ultimately improves the quality and impact of our research.
Our main focus is the creation of a tool that enables the research community to design and deliver equitable and responsible research projects that place people and society at the forefront. The initial ten principles were tested with research staff at York and at our partner institution, Mahidol University in Bangkok. Following this testing, we consolidated the principles into five, and launched the online tool.
Our work also involves addressing global and team equity through HR interventions and funding projects at The University of York and Mahidol University.
