Models of Research Culture Support Survey

About this Survey

The RCEN CommitteeLink opens in a new window have designed a short survey for members of the Research Culture Enablers Network to help us better understand:

How the institutions we work at support research culture;
What kinds of activities and tasks we undertake as research culture enablers.

We intend to use this information internally within the network to support our ongoing activities, and to improve the way the network operates. We also hope that this will allow us to demonstrate and articulate the varied contributions we all make as research culture enablers, and anonymised data may form the basis of a white paper or report in future. We do not anticipate to publish any findings in academic journals,

We will not collect any identifiable information from you, however there is one question which asks what your role title is and we do recognise that for some members of the network, their job title could potentially be identifiable as it may have a unique name.

We have made all questions optional, however obtaining as comprehensive a dataset as possible has the potential to::

Improve sharing of best practice to enhance research culture support in the sector
Allow individual members to benchmark themselves and gain an understanding of what may be useful for career progression

We expect that this survey will take approximately 15 min to complete. Please be aware you will be unable to save your progress and will have to complete the survey in one sitting.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Dr Rika Nair ( )
