• Research Development Managers work with a portfolio of Academic Schools to support their pursuit of research and knowledge exchange opportunities.

• Policy & Project Officers focus on the development of the University's suite of policies with regard to research and knowledge exchange activity as well as interpreting the external policy environmnet and its implications for the University and its activities.  Preparation and administration coordination of the University's preparations for the Research Excellence framework (REF) are also based in this part of the team.
