  2. Publication Approval and Acknowledgments

    Correct acknowledgement of the HPRU-GI is vital, in order for the publication to be returned as an output of the unit.

    Acknowledgement of funding and disclaimer:

    All written and oral outputs that are a result of work directly funded or indirectly supported by the HPRU-GI must acknowledge the NIHR as the funder and, when including research findings or opinions, use the HPRU-GI disclaimer. The acknowledgement and disclaimer for HPRU-GI is as follows:

    1. Work Directly Funded by NIHR: This study is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Health Protection Research Unit in Gastrointestinal Infections, a partnership between the UK Health Security Agency, the University of Liverpool and the University of Warwick. The views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NIHR, the UK Health Security Agency or the Department of Health and Social Care.
    2. Work not directly funded by NIHR: [name of researcher] is affiliated to the National Institute for Health and Care Research Health Protection Research Unit (NIHR HPRU) in Gastrointestinal Infections at University of Liverpool in partnership with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), in collaboration with University of Warwick.

  5. Notice of planned media activity

    It is critically important to the Department of Health (DH) and the NIHR that we are made aware of any intention to publicise news or stories that involve the NIHR, including issuing any press releases or media statements reporting findings sufficiently in advance. This will allow us to work with colleagues to prepare ministers and the Department’s and the NIHR’s media teams for any publicity and indeed, where appropriate and possible, to secure any quotes or follow-up activities that would support your research.

    Best practice is to give at least 28 days’ notice of an intention to issue a press release or target media with a news story to the relevant coordinating centre, together with a copy of the research paper/report, where appropriate. If the media materials announce NIHR-funded research findings, this is a contractual obligation.

    A draft press release or media materials must be sent to the relevant coordinating centre 14 days before the planned issue date, including any press releases to be issued by the publisher. All embargos will be respected by the NIHR and by the DH.

    When research the NIHR has supported is funded by others, when announcing NIHR funding, when individuals or teams win awards and prizes and when recruiting patients in studies, it may not always be possible to provide 28 days notice, but in these cases please do still let us know it is going to happen as soon as you can. Please note that in these circumstances it will not be possible to gain ministerial or CMO quotes.

    Please notify the Communications team at the NIHR Central Commissioning Facility: ccfcomms@nihr.ac.uk, copying in hprugi@liverpool.ac.uk.
