Overview of the Department
Our mission is to offer a “one-stop-shop” approach and solution-oriented admin service to researchers and clinicians. We help establish good laboratory practice, agile and fit-for-purpose processes, and high standards for managing research in a compliant manner. Our main administrative functions are as follows. The Project Management Office serves as a central repository and enabling service for research studies. The Laboratories & Biosafety Office ensure labs are in good working condition and practices safe. The Grants Office manages external awards. The Business Office handles budgets, financial reporting and procurement matters. The Governance and Compliance Office governs all research practices and processes and ensures compliance. The Outcomes & Reporting Office looks after strategic reporting, communications and outreach. Finally, the Research Contracts Office manages collaborations and other research agreements. As a group we are the primary interface and facilitators between scientists and internal/external parties, and lead commercialization of research services.• Project Management Office
