Survey of Organizational Research Climate (SOURCE)

October 26, 2020

From: Tamera Schneider, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research CUNY

Dear CUNY Researcher,

Please help us to achieve greater research integrity at CUNY and your institution by participating in a brief Survey of Organizational Research Climate (SOURCE). A link will be sent to you soon, from an external vendor, to secure your participation. The Office of Research is using the SOURCE Survey because it is the only validated instrument designed to empirically measure research integrity within academic organizations.

Only through your participation can we better understand the research integrity needs across CUNY. We will use the aggregate results to design improved, targeted training and education initiatives for our students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty.

Only through your participation can we receive results that will help CUNY and individual campuses to characterize research integrity; assess education and mentoring approaches; demonstrate institutional commitment to research integrity for external sponsors and government agencies; and inform future actions we will take to enhance research integrity.

We thank you for the important role you play in assisting in our efforts to enhance research integrity across CUNY, in part by completing this brief survey.

Sincerely,

Tamera Schneider
