The Research and Project Development Division (RPDD), based on the 9th floor of Tower One, offers advice and assistance to the School's academic community in respect of all areas of funded research activity. We:

assist colleagues to identify appropriate funding opportunities;
disseminate these opportunities widely through a range of email or web-based mechanisms;
advise on the development of research grant proposals, including contractual and budgetary issues, and on internal and national research policy issues;
we provide support and advice on managing research projects and administer the grant or contract awarded on behalf of the PI;
RPDD plays a strong role in the development of the research element of the LSE’s international activities, both at programmatic and institutional level.

We manage the various Research Committee Seed Fund schemes, and are responsible for management of the Research Investment Fund, which initially runs to the end of calendar 2010.
