Subject coordinator: Rod Wissler
Research management is an increasingly specialised and complex professional field involving both values-based strategic decision making and a plethora of interrelated 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 subject, the first of two, deals with a number of the key foundational principles and practices which are part of a research manager's activity.
The subject aims to improve an understanding of the range of frameworks and issues involved in the field of research management. In exploring these frameworks and issues, the subject acknowledges the human factors in research organisations and examines the data management systems and other technologies which underpin the operation of a typical research services unit.
Assessment: Forum and personal journal contributions (30 per cent), short answer tests (30 per cent), assignment (40 per cent), formative assessment (0 per cent).
