Research funder relationships

The Research Strategy Office supports the University, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and the Heads of School in coordinating and maintaining institutional relationships with the Research Councils and select charities and trusts.

We support the development of strong and effective partnerships with the research funders by:

  • Developing deeper understanding of strategic thinking and priorities between the University and funders at the senior level;
  • Ensuring that there is effective communication and information sharing;
  • Coordinating University responses to research funder initiatives that require institutional input, such as institutional proposals and reports, responses to consultations and information requests and similar;
  • Organising regular visits and managing and supporting interactions

Some recent presentations from major funders can be found at the links below:
