An eight-module course in two formats

Research Management and Governance

Collaborative Research from Funding Call to Accountable Delivery and Use

Research Management and Governance: Collaborative Research from Funding Call to Accountable Delivery and Use is a practical course in the decisions that carry a collaborative research project from a funding call to accountable delivery and the use of its results: who may decide, on what evidence, under which rules, and how each decision is recorded so that another person can check it. Its eight modules cover research governance and partner due diligence, evidence for policy and practice, stakeholder engagement and co-production, communication and uptake, project and grant management, ethics, quality assurance and compliance, intellectual property and technology transfer, and the monitoring and evaluation of research impact. Each module opens with a true, dated story from a university, funder, government, company or community somewhere in the world, sets out the framework the story calls for, and puts it to work on one running practice case: a fictional twelve-month collaborative pilot with a funder, a lead university, a research institute and a community partner. Students build a Research Management Portfolio one step per module, on the practice case or on a real project in their own institution, and carry out one improvement that their own institution adopts.
