Research and projects work is managed by the Research Division. Based in room U.701 (Tower 1 seventh floor). The Research Division offers advice and assistance to the School's academic community in respect of all areas of funded research activity. We:
-
assist colleagues to identify appropriate funding opportunities;
-
disseminate these opportunities widely through a range of email or web-based mechanisms;
-
advise on the development of research grant proposals, including contractual and budgetary issues, and on internal and national research policy issues;
-
we provide support and advice on managing research projects and administer the grant or contract awarded on behalf of the principal investigator;
-
The Research Division plays a strong role in the development of the research element of LSE's international activities, both at programmatic and institutional level.
We manage the Research Committee Seed Fund scheme, and are responsible for the administration of the Research Investment Fund (final awards were made in December 2010).
