Membership is on an individual basis. TaPRA does not admit group or institutional memberships.

Membership is normally open to any individual on payment of the appropriate

fee. In exceptional cases the Executive Committee may refuse an application for membership or renewal of membership.

Members undertake to observe the research ethics framework as laid

out by the Research Councils (RCUK) with particular reference to promoting research integrity and maintaining highest standards of good practice. The Executive Committee reserves the right to refuse membership and/or attendance at annual conference and/or presentation of work that is demonstrated to have breached acceptable research conduct resulting in fabrication, falsification,

misrepresentation, or plagiarism.

Subscription is on an annual basis and runs from conference to conference or

from the point of joining to the next scheduled conference. A concessionary rate

is available where eligibility can be demonstrated.

The Executive Committee will review the level of the Annual Subscription each year and propose any changes to it at the AGM.

Honorary life membership may be granted by the Executive to individuals who have given distinguished service to the organisation. Such memberships will be confirmed at the Annual General Meeting.

All members have a right to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.
