Our Faculty Research Committee is the main conduit between the Faculty and our departments on issues relating to research, notably its governance, funding, delivery and impact. The group has broad expertise and knowledge, provides advice and guidance on the Faculty’s overall research strategy, provides peer-review for specific internal funding schemes and selection for institutionally capped funding schemes, as well as supporting activities of the Vice Provost Research and Enterprise and related College structures such as the Research Advisory Group.
