Through managing bids for strategic research initiatives, I help to articulate to funders our vision for research and to ensure internal and external stakeholders are fully involved so that funded projects can proceed successfully and sustainably.

I represent the Division as a member or officer on divisional and university committees.

As REF Project Manager, I had responsibility for coordinating the submission the Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) in the Medical Sciences Division. This included advising and supporting the Deputy Head of Division (Research) and others in the Divisional academic leadership team, Heads of Department and professional staff. I managed the preparation of strategy, narrative and data for our REF2021 submissions and the processes within the Division required to deliver them, working closely with colleagues in Departments and the wider University.

Prior to joining Medical Sciences in 2019, I was the Head of Research Grants Administration in the Department of Physics, overseeing applications, awards and contracts.  I worked on all aspects of the Department’s submission to REF2014 including developing and writing impact case studies and narrative on research environment.
