We are divided into four teams, with an Ethics and Governance Officer providing support across all these teams. Responsibilities are as follows:

The Research Development Team is responsible for the development of the research culture more broadly, providing training, facilitating collaborations, and work with academics to ensure that their ideas are developed into fully fledged viable proposals.
The Research Grants and Contracts Team deals with the contracts, costing, approval and submission of grants.
The Research Accounts Team looks after post-award accounts, claims, auditing and reporting.
The Research Excellence Team manages and supports the REF2021 submission, Public Engagement and Research Impact. The team is also responsible for benchmarking, reporting and supporting research systems and data management; this includes the support of ORCID, SciVal, Vertigo Ventures and Grant Application work.
