Research Programmes and Infrastructure
The Research Delivery team, part of the College of Medicine and Health Research Office, is a vibrant hub for Professional Service staff (~60 individuals) supporting high-value, strategically important projects and programmes.
We work closely with both Professional Services colleagues and Academics across the University and partner organisations – particularly Birmingham Health Partners – to maximise the impact of funded research, and support delivery and development of renewals for large infrastructure awards. The portfolio supported is wide ranging across the College’s research portfolio, and includes:
- BactiVac
- Birmingham Drug Discovery Hub
- Birmingham Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre
- Health Data Research UK Midlands
- Midlands & Wales Advanced Therapies Treatment Centre
- MRC Impact Accelerator Award (previous ‘Confidence in Concept’)
- N-CODE Network
- NIHR Applied Research Collaboration West Midlands
- NIHR Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre
- NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery
- NIHR Patient Safety Research Collaboration
- NIHR Research Support Service
- NIHR School for Public Health RESearch (PHRESH) Consortium
Primarily located in the Institute for Translational Medicine, the team benefits from well-established relationships with programme partners and key stakeholders including NHS Trusts, collaborating research institutions both locally, nationally and globally, patient and public contributors, charities and funders.
The team comprises a range of skills and support functions for researchers, including dedicated resources to enable and aid translational research.
