The Research Culture Toolkit brings together essential resources, templates, data insights, and guidance in one place to help everyone involved in research at UCL build a positive research culture.

Whether you're preparing a grant application, planning a departmental initiative, or seeking to understand and improve research culture in your area, this Toolkit can support you. It also underpins the Research Culture Roadmap.
It is designed to:
- Equip Research Culture champions, academic leaders, and professional services staff with practical tools to foster local change;
- Provide tailored support on strategic priorities such as the REF 2029 People, Culture & Environment (PCE) narrative;
- Help researchers confidently integrate Research Culture and EDI considerations into funding proposals;
- Enable a sustainable, scalable approach to culture change across the institution.
