The RVC is a member of the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN, https://www.ukrn.org/about/). The purpose of the UKRN is to enable researchers, institutions, and other stakeholders working in the UK to collaborate, so they are better able to conduct and promote rigorous, reproducible, and transparent research. By being an institutional member, the RVC has committed to having a ‘UKRN Institutional Lead’, who is a senior member of staff with responsibility for research improvement and research integrity. At the RVC this is Professor Dominic Wells (dwells@rvc.ac.uk)
