Following a major review of the University's research support services, a new, integrated structure has been established that creates a single, interconnected institution-wide community of practice, delivering operational research services through a line management structure that links back to the RIKE directorate. The new structure is built around three faculty-facing teams that provide end-to-end operational support for externally-funded research, throughout the project lifecycle.
The support provided by the end-to-end support team covers the following three areas of activity:
Pre-Award (working with academics to create budgets, handling internal approvals processes and project management of submission process)
Post-Award (accepting awards, setting up budgets and managing finances throughout lifecycle of grant)
Environment (supporting strategic thinking around funding, helping academics to engage with new opportunities, and supporting the creation of a strong departmental research environment)
