Research Management
Research is at the core of our mission - accounting for close to 40% of our income. In order to build the University’s global standing as a world-class research-intensive university and attract the most talented researchers - particularly in this era of increasingly competitive academic environments - it is essential that we offer world-class research management support to all staff so as to develop and encourage ambitious early career researchers and high-achieving academics.
The Research Management Office - part of the College Research Support Office - provides expert advice and specialist support across the research project lifecycle including strategically important large-scale initiatives. The office has two primary functions: 1) to work in partnership with academic staff and researchers to deliver a dedicated end-to-end support service from the proposal stage through to final reporting, ensuring high-quality submissions and effective management of awards, and 2) to drive the development, implementation and delivery of research-led ‘value-added’ activities - in consultation with School management - thereby helping to inform future research management and maximise opportunities for research income generation.
