05 Oct 2021

An update on focus and next steps

Research Lifecycle Programme

The Research Lifecycle Programme (RLP) is a series of investments of over £15 million. The overarching goal of the programme is to uplift research support in the University, to help researchers focus more on their research and remove administrative and technological barriers from their way.

In October, the RLP will start year 4 of its five year journey. The programme focuses on three main streams of work to help uplift research support:

  • Research information – How researchers find and manage information
  • Research processes – How we enable better research support at our University
  • e-Research infrastructure – A combination of digitally-based technology and the people and organisational structures needed to support modern, internationally leading, collaborative research.

An update on the RLP’s focus this year for these streams can be viewed on the RLP website:
