Research Project Leads 2027 Programme – Now Open for Applications

This cohort-based development programme is designed for researchers who are currently leading, or preparing to lead, research projects and teams. It supports colleagues developing as research leaders through a combination of expert-led workshops, peer learning, networking, reflection and cross-disciplinary discussion.

I would be grateful if you could circulate this opportunity through your faculty and research leadership networks and encourage applications from colleagues who would benefit from structured support as they progress towards or further develop research leadership responsibilities.

Further information, including programme dates and the application process, can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/RPL2027

Application deadline: 28 October 2026

Demand is expected to exceed the number of available places, and applications will be considered jointly by faculty representatives and the Researcher Development Team to create a diverse and collaborative cohort.
