About Us
The Research Development team is part of the broader Research Strategy and Operations team (led by the Director of Research Strategy and Operations, and reporting to the PVC Research and International), which also has responsibilities across Research Governance, Policy, Pre-Award functions, as well as working closely with the Doctoral School, Research Culture and Environment team, and relevant colleagues in other Professional Service Departments such as Libraries, Finance and Communications and Marketing.
Developing highly functional relationships across Schools and Professional Service Departments is an integral part of how we work, and we strive to provide a high quality service to our academic community. Our team includes individuals with a mix of experiences and backgrounds, both at NTU and beyond, and we are working hard to ensure that we continue to build a positive culture within our team. We operate on a hybrid basis, with colleagues combining working across our campuses and from home. There is a focus on colleagues spending some time every week co-located with other team members, because we know the value of building relationships, sharing intelligence and ideas, and feeling part of something real.
We are building on three key principles: Confidence in NTU as a research informed institution; Credibility to undertake research of the highest quality; Collaboration to deliver research that changes lives. We have recently refreshed our Strategic Research Themes (Health Innovation; Safety and Sustainability; Digital, Technology and Creative) which encompass all our Schools and will be dynamic and bustling with activity. They will be the vehicles through which we tell our narrative.
