UK - Health Research Authority (HRA) - New strategy for research transparency 2020

Our vision is that trusted information from health and social care research studies is publicly available for the benefit of all.

Research transparency is central to ethical research practice. Research studies should be registered and the results made public, so that participants are protected from unnecessary studies and research funding maximised. When research is carried out openly and transparently, everyone will be able to see what research is happening and the outcomes from finished studies. This means that:

  • patients, service users and carers can find opportunities to join studies
  • researchers can build on previous research findings in their efforts to develop new and better treatments, and to identify the best ways for us to stay healthy and well
  • health professionals, commissioners, policy makers, and funders, can use research findings to help make informed decisions.
Promoting transparency across the research landscape is central to the HRA’s role to facilitate safe and ethical research.
