The Code of Good Scientific Practice constitutes a framework for self-regulation. The content has been supervised and updated as part of the remit of the PRBB Good Scientific Practice Working Group (GSP Working Group).The GSP Working Group[1] is made up of nominated representatives of all PRBB Centres[2].
In the event of enquiries concerned with good scientific practice, each PRBB centre has nominated two contact individuals (GSP Centre Contacts)[3]. Any member of staff working in a PRBB Centre who has an enquiry regarding good practice should contact the Centre Contact of their affiliated institution in the first instance[4]. In the rare event of an issue that cannot be resolved by the Centre, an ad-hoc committee with representation from all PRBB Centres may be constituted under the leadership of the Director of the PRBB.
[2] The term “PRBB Centres” is used to refer to the following institutes collectively: the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM), the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra University (CEXS-UPF), the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the Barcelona Institute of Global Health (ISGlobal), the Pasqual Maragall Foundation/Barcelonabeta Brain Research Center and the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE).
[3] For current GSP Centre Contacts for all issues related to good scientific practice please see the GSP Working Group.
[4] In the exceptional circumstance of conflicting interest with both Centre Contacts, individuals may contact the Director of the PRBB or the Chairperson of the GSP Working Group.
