About

RoRI was founded in 2019 with a mission to accelerate transformative research on research systems, cultures and decision-making.

Research is crucial to tackling many of the world’s most pressing and intractable challenges. But large amounts of time, effort and money could be wasted if research systems are not as efficient, responsive, impactful and fair as they could be. Researchers are also under heightened pressure to demonstrate their accountability, openness, reproducibility and integrity.

Against this backdrop, RoRI pursues its mission through five objectives:

  • Boosting capacity for transdisciplinary, collaborative, applied and mixed-method research on research
  • Building infrastructures to connect academic capabilities to the data and analytical resources of research funding organisations
  • Experimenting with new tools, indicators, methods and evaluation frameworks
  • Accelerating the translation and uptake of metascientific evidence by decision-makers.
  • Enabling networking, co-design and collaboration between meta-researchers, funders, policymakers, publishers, data and infrastructure providers.

Headquartered at University College London (UCL), RoRI partners and works closely with an expanding international network of research funders, from across Europe, North America, Australia and Africa.

“When the RoRI founding partners met for the first time in London, we knew we had a bold vision: to transform the way that research is funded, communicated and evaluated. This vision would only be possible if we worked together with strategic partners around the world to create a trusted and collaborative environment where partners could openly share, experiment and take risks.”

Dr Chonnettia Jones, Executive Director, Addgene and Co-Founder of RoRI
