    Speak to someone for tailored advice

    In the first instance, speak with your faculty or department manager for advice on developing your research ideas.

    Research Coordination Offices

    Your faculty Research Coordination Office听(RCO) can provide expert advice, support听and guidance on developing grant proposals for听fellowships, personal,听and larger collaborative awards

    The Developing Grants and Fellowships SharePoint site also has a range of听resources to help you听apply听for听and secure听research funding.听

    Award听Services

    Award Services provide听resources and support to help you develop your sponsored research project.

    For support with European funding applications, including听Horizon听Europe proposals,听speak to the Award Services European Research & Innovation Office (ERIO) team.

    Innovation Service

    The Research & Innovation Services (RIS) Innovation Service provides听support for听projects and contracts that fall within UCL's charitable mission that cannot be听classed as sponsored research.听

    Centre for Advanced Research Computing

    Speak to the听Centre for Advanced Research Computing (ARC) for support with:

    • Research software development
    • Research data management
    • Database development
    • Data storage
    • Developing computing platforms
    • IT training
    • IT applications.

    The ARC and the Library Services Data Management team also run regular drop-in sessions for research staff where you can get support and advice to help you plan your research.

    Partnerships

    The Innovation & Enterprise Business & Innovation Partnerships (BIP) team work听with large firms, external partners, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in key sectors to build institutional-level business partnerships with industry.听

    Speak to the听BIP team to find听out how to partner with business, create a spinout company,听offer consultancy services, or licence intellectual property (IP).

    Knowledge exchange

    Knowledge exchange helps you to connect with communities beyond UCL to share ideas, evidence and expertise.听For听advice on knowledge exchange, speak to the Innovation & Enterprise Knowledge exchange and funding听team.听

    Clinical research

    The UCLH/UCL Joint Research Office (JRO) supports the development听of clinical research studies at 皇家华人 and UCLH.听If you are considering a clinical trial, speak to someone in the JRO.

    Researchers based within the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (GOS ICH) can also seek advice from the UCL GOS ICH/Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Joint Research and Development Office.

    Translational research

    For support with translating emerging research into therapies, techniques and medical products contact the听Translational Research Office (TRO).

    Research impact

    To learn more about how you听can maximise, record and evaluate the impact听of your work,听visit the Research Impact website.

    The Policy Impact Unit听(PIU) can also help you to develop an impact objective and strategic engagement plan.

    Research integrity and ethical support

    Research integrity involves all aspects of the research process including planning, data collection, publication and authorship, sharing of data and good data management. For advice on听integrity or ethical questions, speak with the Research Integrity team.

    Where to store your data

    Data storage and preservation are key parts of the research data lifecycle.听It is important that you consider where听to store and preserve data听when planning your project. You will听need to determine which system will听best meet your project鈥檚 requirements for confidentiality, integrity and availability.

    If you鈥檙e听obtaining data under licence or contract听(usually via a听data-sharing agreement) it鈥檚 likely there will be specific requirements for where this data can be stored. Data sharing agreements often include a requirement for secure data destruction.听You should check that the system you plan to use will be able to meet this requirement.

    Library Services provide useful guidance on storing听and preserving research data.

    Research Data Storage Service

    The听Research Data Storage Service is a centrally-managed, resilient data storage facility for UCL researchers who need somewhere to store and share their research data during the active phase of a research project.

    Data Safe Haven

    The UCL Data Safe Haven (DSH) provides a technical solution for storing, handling and analysing identifiable data. If you plan to handle personal data as part of your research project you should听use the DSH. Before requesting access, you will need to complete the听Information Governance assurance process.

    Planning & conducting international research

    The UCL Research听website provides guidance and resources to help you plan and conduct听international research. Also, see below听for further advice on conducting research in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).听

    UCL LMIC toolkit

    The LMIC toolkit offers guidance听for academic and professional services staff for research projects based in LMICs.

    Due diligence

    UCL is required to carry out appropriate due diligence checks on third parties based in LMICs听who undertake activities funded by a grant.听You can find further information on the UCL due diligence process听by visiting the Research and Innovation Services website.

    Check if your research is ODA compliant

    Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded research activity focuses on outcomes which promote the long-term sustainable growth of countries on the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list. Find out听if your research is ODA compliant and which countries are听eligible for funding.

    Public involvement in research

    Public involvement in research is increasingly expected 鈥� and in many cases required 鈥� by funders, so that research better meets the needs and expectations of society.

    For clinical research studies, the UCLH/UCL Joint Research Office (JRO) offers听advice and guides听on patient and public involvement.
