Staff Researcher Development Programme (SRDP)

Our Staff Researcher Development Programme (SRDP) offers a comprehensive programme of seminars, covering key areas from research impact, engagement and funding to being a good supervisor, career pathways and line management. The seminars are offered every week throughout the academic year: a rich and stimulating programme of events mapped to the Vitae Researcher Development Framework
 
In addition, as part of our commitment to building a vibrant research community, we support staff through an enhanced research mentoring scheme and research leave initiative across all Schools. We also recognise that no research can be carried out without sufficient financial support and offer a number of internal funding schemes each year, including funds to support the delivery of research impact or strategic priorities.
