Research Office Capacity

The Research Office aims to continue supporting academic and departmental colleagues as effectively as is possible. However, the current National Lockdown, school closures, caring responsibilities and other pressures on staff has had an immediate impact. A recent survey of Research Office staff has indicated that we are currently working with a ~20% - 25% reduction in capacity.

Whilst the Research Office will continue to prioritise activity relating to COVID-19, we need to manage other work across the Office and are implementing changes regarding application deadlines, award management and contracts. Full details of these arrangements can be found on the Research Office COVID19 web pages.
