From the Director of the Research Office

 

Welcome to the last issue of the Research Office Newsletter for 2007.

With 2007 drawing to a close, I would like to thank all ANU staff involved in research management for their hard work and dedication during 2007. 

Research management staff make a vital contribution to the ANU and are becoming increasingly important as the ANU becomes more reliant on external research funding.  The support provided by research management staff to researchers in the pursuit and management of research funding plays a key role in enabling the ANU to maintain its position as a leading world research university and in maintaining our reputation for undertaking research of the highest quality while following the highest ethical standards in the practice of research.  Their support to individual ANU researchers is vital in ensuring that those researchers achieve their full potential.

I wish you all an enjoyable break and come back refreshed to face the challenges of 2008.
