Overview

I am currently on secondment as our Network Facilitation Manager. I am responsible for planning and managing a new initiative to support Research Networks across the University. This includes managing a pilot fund to pump prime activities for a number of networks currently being established.   

Prior to my secondment I was a Research Development Manager (RDM) supporting academics on the Cornwall campus with the development of research grant applications. This included advising on the fit of research to particular funding calls, providing feedback on applications, costings and submission of applications to funders. 

Prior to joining the University of Exeter in May 2016 I worked as an RDM at the University of Reading supporting academics in the Faculty of Science. Previous positions include time at BBSRC managing the peer review process for managed mode funding calls and a secondment to BIS (now BEIS) working in the ESRC sponsor team and supporting policy work for Open Access and Open Research Data.
