The New Core Finance workstream have been liaising with colleagues across all Colleges to discuss research funding application approval processes.
The Research Grant Management elements of the new system, being delivered by our partner supplier Worktribe, will provide a standardised approval model for funding applications to facilitate collaborative working across the University.
This model will be fundamental to the configuration of Worktribe implementation, and associated benefits for collaborative cross-College working. Extensive consultation, communication, and training on any new processes will be carried out with staff across campus ahead of system launch.
Next steps for the Worktribe implementation team include producing and reviewing standard operating procedures to accompany funding application processes, with the input of stakeholders from Colleges and Professional Services.
