Dear colleagues

<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>Help Wellcome to Reimagine Research
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Wellcome wants to build a better research culture and we hope you will help
<br>us.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Together, we want to build a research culture that is creative, inclusive and
<br>honest. Where excellence is not just be what we do, but also how we do it.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>We know that Wellcome has helped to create this narrow focus on excellence and
<br>we have seen the personal toll it takes on individuals. We believe we have a
<br>responsibility to change this - further inaction is inexcusable.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>More details can be found on our website
<br> and in a
<br>blog
<br>from Wellcome's Director, Jeremy Farrar.

<br>Share your view
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>We have launched a survey
<br> to hear the views of
<br>those who conduct, support or have recently left the research profession. We
<br>want to understand the current culture and hear what changes you think are
<br>needed.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>We will publish the findings later this year and share the anonymised data for
<br>others to learn from.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>From this research, we will create a shared set of goals which describe a
<br>great research culture and commit Wellcome to achieving these through every
<br>part of our work. We want to take meaningful action and be held accountable
<br>for progress.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>You can help us - please complete the survey and encourage those you know to
<br>do the same.
