Lecture:	2 x 1 Hours Weekly
Syllabus:	Research Management is an increasingly specialised and complex professional field involving both values-based strategic decision-making and a plethora of inter-related compliance, governance and administrative functions. Research Management takes place in both public and private sector contexts, and facilitates delivery of the economic, social and cultural benefits expected of research. This unit deals with a number of the key foundational principles and practices which are part of a research manager's activity. This unit aims to improve understanding of the range of frameworks, and issues involved in the field of research management. In exploring these frameworks and issues, the unit will acknowledge the human factors in research organisations and will examine the data management systems and other technologies which underpin the operation of a typical research services unit.
