Integrity and Ethics - Scholarly Essentials
Memorial University of Newfoundland is committed to excellence in scholarly activities. To this end, Memorial provides resources and support by which all members of our academic community—students, faculty and staff—can become educated regarding ethical conduct in scholarly endeavours. Whether you are in a course-based program conducting library research or in a research-based program undertaking experiments in a lab, or interviewing participants in the field, there are ethical standards and related guidelines and policies to which you must adhere.
This web site provides information and resources related to ownership and acknowledgement, data, and the potential impact of research on humans, animals, and the environment. It contains a selection of important documents set out by the School of Graduate Studies, Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Tri-Agency*. However, given the breadth of scholarly work undertaken at Memorial, this site is not all-inclusive. It is your responsibility to understand and adhere to the policies applicable to your program and discipline and to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity.

* The Tri-Agency consists of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
Although the Graduate Research Integrity Program (GRIP) was discontinued effective February 2012, the School of Graduate Studies will provide a final offering during Winter 2013. Completion of GRIP during the Winter 2013 offering is not mandatory.
Students who wish to complete GRIP and receive a transcript annotation can register for GRIP (GRAD 9991, CRN 66423). An online global workshop will be held during the Winter semester through which students will fulfill the final GRIP requirement.
Students who have previously registered for GRIP and have a grade of GNR (Grade Not Received) or INC (Incomplete) should not register a second time for GRIP. These students can contact Elizabeth Noseworthy, enosewor@mun.ca, to request access to the Winter offering of GRIP.
