This includes; a document detailing how the e-survey data was transformed to protect anonymity, a flowchart that indicates how participants were guided to answer questions in the e-survey, e-survey guide, interview guide, sample plan for the qualitative phase of the research and a document outlining some ethical consideration guiding the research design

The report is a summary of the findings and recommendations

The consultation explored approaches to prioritizing research of radically different natures, scopes and impacts. The sentiments of the expert community varied, some preferring a cost-benefit approach, where others, for example, prioritized addressing the urgency of need. Areas underpinning many research gaps are: reliability of science, confidence in data, skills in modelling; assessment and evaluation of evidence, actions and approaches; conducting science across scales and contexts; and synthesis of evidence

Wellcome commissioned market research agency Shift Learning to investigate current perceptions and experiences of research culture among the research community. Methods: This article presents key findings from two phases of this project: 94 qualitative interviews and a quantitative e-survey with 4267 usable responses. Interview invitations were sent out to UK-based research staff at various career stages. The survey was open to international respondents, but the majority of responses came from the UK. Respondents came predominantly from academia and the sample was intentionally skewed towards biological and biomedical sciences. Results: While participants considered the quality of research outputs to have generally remained high, many felt that issues impacting research ...
