| Dear Voornaam,
Welcome to your weekly Cancer Research UK Research Update email.
19-23 September is Peer Review Week, and to mark it, we’d like to thank all the committee, panel members, and patient involvement representatives, who so generously give up their time to help us. Peer review is crucial in research funding and we’re so grateful for their support.
This year’s theme is research integrity. So it’s timely that we’re introducing a new monthly column featuring Dr Catherine Winchester and Dr Andrew Porter, dedicated research integrity advisers at our Beatson and Manchester Institutes. Each month, they’ll be sharing their experiences from the front line of research integrity – their expertise really will give us an incredible view of the latest processes and thinking around research integrity, and, importantly, how to go about implementing them to your own work. |

|  HOW CAN WE MEASURE RESEARCH INTEGRITY? Along with UKRI and GuildHE, we commissioned some work to explore research integrity indicators.
We’ve identified 5 working principles for developing indicators and have proposed a set of questions for the sector to reflect on how we might take this forward together. Explore the findings and share your thoughts. |

 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT – CATCH RICHARD GILBERTSON ON OUR RESEARCH PODCAST “Paediatric oncology has always been a distinct field. And I think, in many ways, it's more advanced than that of adult cancers.”
To mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we spoke to Richard Gilbertson from our Cambridge Centre about the future of paediatric cancer research and some of the transformative discoveries his lab has made on the biology of childhood brain cancers. |
