If you have a research project you would like to find funding for or if you have seen a research funding opportunity you would like to pursue, your first port of call is the Research Development team within the Research Division. To discuss your idea, email our research development managers, Dr Aygen Kurt-Dickson or Ana Alvarez Serra .

Research development managers

Dr Aygen Kurt-Dickson and Ana Alvarez Serra are the Division's dedicated research development managers (RDMs) and are involved in the development of strategic research planning for both centres and departments.
Well practiced in sourcing funding and ensuring that your research application strategy is harmonised with the overall aims of a research cluster, these managers are the first point of contact for heads of academic units and academic unit managers. To discuss your idea, book an appointment with a research development manager.

Business partnerships manager

Horatio Mortimer is the Division's business partnerships manager. He identifies appropriate corporate research partners and funding opportunities, develops and sets up long-term sustainable research partnerships with the corporate sectors whilst ensuring compliance with LSE regulations. To discuss corporate research funding further, contact our business partnerships manager.

Grant applications managers and research awards managers

Based on your department you are allocated:
