Vice President Research & University Research Group Registrar Director of Res & BE Research Support & Strategy Contracts & Governance Graduate Education & Res Careers EU Support Business Engagement Director of Finance HoFRSS / FRA HoFRSS / FRA HoFRSS / FRA Devolved RSS University of Manchester Research Support Structure

Research Support Service Campus Wide 73 FTE within Research Support Service colleagues split between the University Research Office and Faculty/School. 57 Research Finance colleagues across campus. Post award management of research retained within the Finance Directorate following the same devolved model. Research Support Service within the Directorate of Research and Business Engagement is now responsible and accountable for the processes and service level delivered throughout the devolved structure.

RSS Challenges and Opportunities Challenges Constrained resources and shrinking fundingbase Loss of staff through ERVS and natural wastage Size and complexity of the organisation will never go away Constant change Opportunities Less isolation and more team working for RSS colleagues An identity for Research Support within PSS The chance to make real improvements in process that ease the burden for everyone

Next Steps Conclude the implementation phase of RoRFA. Establish KPIs for RSS service. Work towards more cohesion between Research Management and Finance. Reduce the variability of process for academic and RSS colleagues alike

Future Gazing Reductions in national investment and increasing competition brings additional challenge to research support colleagues Quality Assurance - a way of illustrating real improvement s Electronic Research Management will play a role for us as it does for many Universities. Constant change is inevitable.
