From the Acting- Director of the Research Office Many of you will be aware
that there have been a number of staff changes within the Research
Office. You are also likely aware that
Charles Tambiah is facilitating an Office of
Sponsored Research refocus process and has sought opinion on a broad range of
relevant issues across the University.
Though the focus is primarily upon OSR, there may be implication for
some change in the remainder of the Research Office At the same time for many
within the RO it’s business as usual, and for some, business busier that
usual. At the time of writing it is
two weeks to the HERDC research data publications data submission deadline,
there have been more late entries this year, and this has put more pressure
on relevant staff. The ERA team have
successfully made a test submission to the Physics, Chemistry, and Earth
Sciences pilot and are now working on
a the submission for Humanities and Creative Arts pilot. The first two “Building a Responsible Research Culture at ANU”
workshops for PhD students have been conducted involving some 110 students in
the Colleges of Physical Sciences and Medicine Biology and the
Environment. These are mandatory for
all first year PhD students and I will shortly be contacting HDR Convenors in
each of the other Colleges to arrange workshop venues, dates and times.
