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 supports and monitors the REF, ORCID, Public Engagement and Research Impact, as well as the systems supporting Research Management, such as KRIMSON, SciVal and Vertigo Ventures.

All our details are below. If you’re unsure who to contact you can search here
