Research Team Leadership

DEVELOPING YOUR CAPACITY FOR RESEARCH TEAM LEADERSHIP

Research Team Leadership (RTL) is a two-day residential course, designed to develop the leadership skills of a research team leader. Through this course participants will discover how to build and lead a research team, motivate and support individual researchers and develop their role as a communicator; thus enhancing the dissemination of their findings to the wider research community and develop their career potential.

RTL will be delivered by facilitators with extensive experience of research team leadership and a thorough knowledge of the challenges involved in conducting publicly funded research. Consequently, this course will help prepare research team leaders to meet the leadership challenges involved in delivering research on-time and within resource constraints, ensuring timely publication of  research findings.

Who Should Attend

This course is for lecturers, senior lecturers or readers, recently appointed as principal investigators or currently leading small research teams (up to six researchers), with responsibility for leading contract research staff, postgraduate research students, as well as technical and administrative support staff. RTL is also suitable for researchers and senior researchers from other organisations engaged in publicly funded research.
