Rethinking  Organisational Opportunities to Tackle Distress (ROOTS) 

The ROOTS programme of work, funded by the NIHR, aims to better understand the nature, drivers and consequences of moral distress faced by frontline staff, and to identify organisational responsibilities and strategies to minimise and manage distress. The main goals of this research are to create evidence-based guidelines that promote fairer international research practices, foster a more inclusive and innovative research culture, and strengthen research system equity, quality and resilience.
