Research & Innovation
The Research and Innovation Office (RIO) is a centralised service, supporting around 640 academic and research staff. We have a team of just over 40 staff spread over three teams, supporting research excellence partnerships & innovation and pre-award research operations, including commercial partnerships.
We generate about £42M each year in our search grant and contract funding. The heads of each service form the RIO senior management team and work closely with me to ensure an integrated and efficient service across the institution.
