UK plc would benefit from more leading edge research and greater research productivity. Universities would benefit from more productive research and individual researchers’ reputations would be enhanced. Whilst there are many researchers making effective use of IT and infrastructure in their research, there are still researchers who are unaware of the opportunities today’s technology can offer in their research, or who, whilst aware of the opportunities, lack the capability, support and skills to realise these opportunities.

Research programme: Research support

The aim of this strand is to suppport researchers in UK universities to take advantage of the opportunities today’s information technologies can offer their research.  

Whilst many researchers do take full advantage of these opportunies, others are unaware of them or lack the capability, support and skills to realise them.

The plan for this strand is to fund the following activities from 2011 to 2012:
  • Researcher Training 
  • Institutional ICT Support for Research – models and guidance
  • Research and Developer Triage
  • JISC Advance for Research and VRE materials
