We partially accept this recommendation. 61. Government is unable to commit all funders to the exclusive of Résumé for Research and Innovation (R4RI), although we support the principle of the greater use of narrative CVs and UKRI is committed to its adoption across all funding opportunities that require track record information. 62. Recognising the need to assess researchers and their contributions more broadly, UKRI is currently rolling out R4RI format,21 based on the Royal Society’s ‘resume for researchers’. This is expected to be in place by the end of 2023. 63. UKRI have established two communities of practice for the research community roll out of R4RI. The Joint Funders Group (JFG), convened in July 2021, works to create the conditions needed to allow other funders to use these CVs in funding decisions. The Alternative Uses Group (AUG), convened in December 2021 with Universities UK, explores the application of these CVs in the assessment of people, e.g. hiring and promotion. 22 Currently made up of 58 organisations covering funders, universities, learned societies, professional bodies, and diverse communities, the JFG and AUG are complementary and co-create resources to support widespread adoption of narrative CVs across the global R&I sector. These resources are hosted in the Résumé Resources Library23 and include guidance prompts, training materials, and a Shared Evaluation Framework (SEF) to help monitor for unintended consequences. 64. In addition, UKRI is a signatory to the San Francisco declaration on research assessment24 (DORA) and founding member of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment25 (CoARA) which aim to improve the mechanisms for assessing researchers and their contributions. As a signatory, this signposts to the sector that UKRI values a range of output types and career choices.
