    Brief

    This programme seeks to engage a specialised UK professional body or research management agency to co-design and deliver an international-standard research governance framework. The initiative aims to strengthen institutional research management capabilities by shifting organisations from basic project administration practices to strategic, visionary research leadership. The selected partner will contextualise best practices for the local environment while building staff competency in modern research governance, compliance, and strategic planning. This capacity-building engagement will enhance the organisation's ability to support researchers, improve research outcomes, and establish sustainable research management practices aligned with global standards.
