Head of Research Ethics, Governance and Compliance, Compliance and Risk, University Corporate Services
Leading a team of eight within University Corporate Services, my portfolio covers support and advice on good practice in research ethics and ethics review, the management of research misconduct investigation processes and the promotion of research integrity and expertise in research governance across the medical and clinical sciences, the social sciences, arts and humanities.
I have over ten years’ experience of supporting research within higher education with practical experience of significant contribution to the gaining of Research Degree Awarding Powers (RDAP) at the University of Chichester, significant reforms and enhancements to sponsorship processes for clinical research and the development of a skilled and dynamic Research Ethics, Integrity and Governance Team at the University of Sussex. I am experienced at working with senior university managers to find far reaching solutions to issues that have implications beyond the obvious ‘Research and Enterprise’ remit.
I firmly believe that attempts to address ‘research culture’ issues can only bear fruit if tackled outside of traditional ‘silos’.
