Research support services

The Research Support Team provides assistance to academic colleagues in preparing and submitting funding applications and managing new awards. Their remit includes:

understanding and explaining funder requirements
preparing budgets
supporting internal peer review processes
formally submitting and accepting awards on behalf of the University
co-ordinating approvals for new research staff appointments and contracts
arranging internal ethics screening
providing management information on applications and awards.

The School Research Support Manager additionally provides strategic research support to the Head of School, Director of Research and School Research Committee.

Research impact is an increasingly important part of the research landscape. The research team, alongside our dedicated Research Impact Facilitator can assist in the assessment and management of impact requirements within the lifecycle of a research project, both pre and post-award.

The Research Finance Team set up awarded projects on Oracle Financials, arrange fEC journals and transfers, prepare and submit reports to sponsors and provide general financial guidance throughout project life-cycles.
