The Research Strategy & Development team at King’s provides a central, dedicated research support function for each of the academic Faculties. We support high-quality, distinctive research with real impact, aligned with the College’s Research Strategy and funders’ strategic priorities.

Our externally-funded research portfolio brings in an annual income of £290 million (2020-21; £220m awards and £70m Research England formula funding). We support collaborative and global research, working with over 130 countries and hundreds of research institutions, industrial, cultural and health service partners and businesses.

Our Research Development managers focus on the co-ordination of major institutional funding applications, improving research in priority areas, provision of support and advice to academic staff, and input into research strategy. They offer:

• help to King's staff to find the best sponsor and scheme for your research idea
• advice on the process of putting an application together and help linking academics from different parts of the university
• feedback on draft sections of applications and administer internal peer review
• briefing events and training for specific schemes, as well as internal triage for very competitive schemes
• support to establish and manage research partnerships through schemes such as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and CASE studentships
