The UK Committee on Research Integrity has taken on the Secretariat role for the Research Integrity Concordat Signatories (RICS) Group. The Concordat to Support Research Integrity is the highly regarded foundation for much of the work that supports integrity across the UK. We look forward to working with the RICS Group to plan next steps and to support the research sector to continue to enhance integrity practices. We would like to extend our appreciation to Universities UK who have provided support to the Concordat Signatories Group since its inception and are working closely with them to ensure a smooth transition. 

The signatories to the Concordat are: 

• Cancer Research UK
• Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland
• Medr – The Commission for Tertiary Education and Research
• National Institute for Health Research
• Scottish Funding Council
• The British Academy
• UK Research and Innovation
• Wellcome Trust
• GuildHE Research
