RLP Story So Far

The Research Lifecycle Programme was started in 2018 with the goal of removing the administrative and technical barriers faced by researchers at The University of Manchester.

The programme has delivered a range of products and services that have improved the University’s ability to support world-leading research. Whether it’s identifying collaborators through Research Explorer, cost-modelling grants using BlackDackel or increasing the scale of problems that can be tackled on the University’s high-performance computing infrastructure, RLP has already delivered for the University.

Across this section of The Research Lifecycle Programme’s website is information about the work already undertaken for RLP’s successor, as well as outlines of our plans and activities for the coming months.
