LSE is one of the leading centres for research in the social science disciplines. The School has a long tradition of encouraging its researchers to undertake challenging research and to extend the boundaries of social science research across disciplines and in collaboration with researchers in the natural sciences.

LSE is among the most international of universities. More than half our researchers and students are drawn from countries other than the UK, and an increasing aspect of LSE's research is conducted in collaboration with other internationally renowned universities located overseas.

LSE's international reputation for the quality and innovation of its research is in part responsible for our success in attracting support for our research programmes from the widest possible range of sponsors. LSE is the largest recipient of funding for social science research in the UK.

LSE is a research-intensive university, and our staff are in constant demand as commentators and analysts. They advise governments, serve on royal commissions, public bodies and government inquiries, and are seconded to local, national and international organisations.

The Research and Project Development Division offers advice and assistance to the School's academic community. They assist colleagues to identify appropriate funding opportunities and advise on the development of research grant proposals and research policy issues. They also provide support and advice on managing research projects and administrating the grant awarded.
