D5.1 - Self-tailored RPO&RFO Audit Plans - parts A&B

This deliverable was produced within the activities of the "WP 5: RPO&RFO Working Groups setup, and audit and impact assessment of RRI maturity" and in particular it is the result of the "Task 5.2 - Develop self-tailored Audit plans" of the GRRIP project. The auditing process is a sequenced, coordinated activity aimed at obtaining a specific result. The Audit Plan, as defined in the GRRIP project, aims at establishing the objectives, activities, teams, and timing of the audit activities, for collecting information and assessing the initial state of the institutionalization of RRI into the Research Performing Organisations (RPO) and the Research Funding Organization (RFO) that are the case study demo sites involved in GRRIP. This will enable each organization to establish the baseline to evaluate and change the structural and cultural assets to include RRI. An audit process consists of different phases, i.e. planning, fieldwork, and reporting. This document describes the planning phase, i.e. the Audit Plan of an audit process. It plans the activities to be implemented in the fieldwork for assessing procedures and practices to identify RRI gaps (knowledge acquisition). The task "T5.2 - Develop self-tailored Audit Plans" of GRRIP has to define the Audit plans for RPOs and RFOs that are described in this deliverable. This document will be the basis of the implementation of the Audit Plans (Task 5.3 - Conduct Audit parts A&B for each RPO&RFO). The Audit Plan is delivered in each Organisation through the representatives (the Working Group manager) of the Working Groups, which has been already established in GRRIP (see task T5.1). Each Working Group member is invited to participate in the Audit of her/his organization to assess the maturity level of RRI practices and determine how well the organization is currently performing and is also invited to share and facilitate the dissemination of the survey that is addressed to the researchers of the organisation. The remaining of this document contains one section about the goals of the GRRIP Audit Plan, one section that gives a picture of the type of information and data to be collected with the audit activity and necessary for the audit analysis, one section that describes the process for the Audit Plan definition, and one section containing the General framework of the Audit Plan on which the RPOs ant the RFO base their tailored Audit Plans. Finally, this document includes an appendix containing the Process for Working Group Manager related to the Audit Plan.
