The Research Office supports externally funded research activity at SOAS by:

• disseminating information about research funding opportunities
• giving support to academic staff making external research grant applications
• costing projects and advising on funders’ terms and conditions
• managing the funds of awarded grants
• servicing the School’s Research Committee
• administering the School’s research ethics policies and procedures
