 Research Support

Over the last decade, academic libraries have built upon their traditional collections and reference service models to incorporate services that include support for digital scholarship, discoverability of research, and identification of funding sources for research (Alexander, Case, Downing, Gomis, & Maslowski, 2014). More recent studies (Cox, 2018; Webb, 2020) reveal considerable value connected to the ways in which libraries and affiliated units can partner with researchers in their efforts to disseminate research through open access, digital scholarship, and more.

The Nancy Thompson Learning Commons (NTLC) serves Kean University’s commitment to research through a Research Support unit that engages with the Kean community as it creates and shares knowledge. While the NTLC provides access to a vast collection of information resources, it also fosters internal and external collaboration and delivers services designed to support the research enterprise and scholarly communication. The Research Support unit endeavors to serve Kean community members through all stages of the research process, with support provided for researchers as they seek and access information, manage citations and data, and seek funding and publishing opportunities. In addition, the NTLC has established Digital Commons as a platform for publishing open access, digital scholarship. Research consultation services, in-person and online workshops, and asynchronous support through videos and online guides are available to faculty researchers, doctoral and other graduate students, and undergraduate researchers.

School for the Future of Innovation in Society

The School for the Future of Innovation in Society grew from the seeds of scholarship fostered within the Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes (CSPO), an intellectual network aimed at enhancing the contribution of science and technology to society’s pursuit of equality, justice, freedom, and overall quality of life.

Just as science and technology affect our world, they are affected by public policy decisions about how research funds are allocated, priorities established, the research enterprise organized, knowledge communicated and applied, and accountability maintained.

Research Support Service

Providing support and advice for health and social care researchers. The RSS can help with developing funding applications and at other stages in the research pathway.

The NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) provides support to researchers to develop applications to national, peer-reviewed research programmes. This covers all NIHR programmes and UK Research Councils, as well as national health and care charities. 

The RSS supports translational, clinical and applied health, public health, and social care research. It can also support applications for fellowships and other personal awards. The RSS does not provide support to global health research, or research that involves discovery. It also cannot support research involving animals or animal tissues.

The service is delivered by eight ‘hubs’. Hubs are a partnership of research groups and Clinical Trials Units (CTUs) with expertise in applied health and care research.  There are also Specialist Centres for Public Health and Social Care, which provide more context-specific expertise. The Public Health Specialist Centres may support applications for local funding opportunities.

The RSS offers collaborative trial delivery through their network of CTUs, and can signpost users to non-RSS UKCRC-accredited CTUs. RSS staff can be collaborators in your research, but will provide advice irrespective of whether staff or partners are collaborators.

The RSS National Collaborative provides strategic leadership to the service and coordinates operational efficiencies. This is hosted by the University of Birmingham.

Where is the RSS located?

The RSS is a national service, and each hub and Specialist Centre is open to researchers based anywhere in England. The RSS can support researchers in the devolved nations if they are working in collaboration with English partners.

What support does the RSS offer researchers?

The RSS can help you to develop your research ideas into competitive funding applications.

All hubs and Specialist Centres can support researchers with advice on:

• finding funding sources
• refining research questions, aims and objectives
• developing appropriate methodological approaches
• planning projects, teams and budgets
• planning for implementation and impact
• writing techniques/pitching an application
• patient, public, service user and community involvement and engagement
• research design to maximise equality, diversity and inclusion

Other support includes advice on project delivery, research approval processes and obtaining ethics approval. The RSS can also provide signposting to other services.

Across the RSS, hubs have expertise to offer advice and support in:

• quantitative expertise, including the statistical aspects of study design, analysis, and reporting; randomised controlled trials (RCTs) including cluster designs and platform trials; and other designs, such as stepped wedge, Bayesian and adaptive approaches
• feasibility and pilot studies
• qualitative study design and analysis
• mixed methods design and analysis
• development, validation and adaptation of outcome measures
• research priority setting, stakeholder involvement and participatory research methods
• behavioural science/ health psychology
• epidemiology
• systematic scoping reviews, qualitative synthesis, systematic reviews and meta-analysis
• health service/implementation research
• expertise developing innovative PPIE approaches with researchers, patients, community organisations and the public
• co-production of interventions with PPIE and stakeholders
• equality, diversity and inclusion
• big data and record/data linkage
• health economics, early economic modelling and evaluation, outcome measurement and cost-effectiveness
• operational support, clinical trials management, and study delivery
• planning pathways to impact

How do I get support from the RSS?

Look through the summary of each hub or specialist centre to find the one that best meets your needs, independent of your location. Once you have decided on a hub or specialist centre, please contact them directly using the contact form linked on their hub page.

Please only contact one hub or specialist centre.

When should I contact the RSS?

Developing a funding application involves considerable planning, time and effort. To ensure the RSS can provide comprehensive support, initial contact should be as early as possible – ideally several months before the funder deadline. Requests for support made less than five working weeks before the submission deadline may influence the quality and nature of the support the RSS can offer.

Clinical Trials Unit support is complex and more likely to need a minimum of three months work up, each CTU has their own guidelines which should be referred to for confirmation.

NIHR Study Support Service

The RSS works in partnership with the NIHR Clinical Research Network. Together, we support study design, ensuring studies are optimised for delivery at sites. The RSS will direct the researchers they are supporting to the Study Support Service (SSS) for more delivery-related advice.

Researchers should contact the SSS for support to attribute study activities during the funding stage. This is through the completion of a Schedule of Events Cost Attribution Tool (SoECAT) . This is the national tool which confirms service support and excess treatment attributions. The SSS can also advise on national study feasibility and deliverability in Health and Social Care settings. Once a study has started, continued support from the SSS is available to help alleviate challenges to recruitment and/or delays.

ISU Local Food Festival

AMES, Iowa – The Farm, Food and Enterprise Development unit, ISU Live Green! initiative, Horticulture Research Station and ISU Dining, along with support from other departments and organizations, at Iowa State University are hosting the annual ISU Local Food Festival on Sept. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Iowa State’s Central Campus, between Curtiss Hall and Beardshear Hall.

The festival was first organized in 2015 and features local farm and food businesses, community organizations, ISU departments and student organizations. The Local Food Festival offers the ISU community an opportunity to source local products and meet the producers; engage around topics such as local food systems, health, wellness and sustainability; and learn about the initiatives of various organizations and departments.  

“The Local Food Festival is a really special event that helps folks on campus connect with local businesses and organizations and learn about the many different ways we can all support a more sustainable community. All while sampling and purchasing locally grown and produced foods,” remarked Megan Kemp, education extension specialist for Farm, Food and Enterprise Development.  

The event is free and open to the public. Attendees will have four hours to visit various booths lining the sidewalk between Beardshear Hall and Curtiss Hall. Booths will offer a variety of samples, products for purchase, informational flyers and giveaways. For a list of vendors and sponsors of the festival, visit the  Local Food Festival website .

“The festival benefits both the ISU community and participating vendors and booths. An important aspect of the festival planning is providing a low-barrier opportunity for vendors and the ISU community to connect and share about local foods, healthy lifestyles and sustainability,” said Kemp.  

Vendor and sponsor opportunities are also available. Vending allows for promotion of organizations or businesses during the festival. Sponsorships help keep the Local Food Festival an accessible platform for vendors to gain visibility with students, faculty and staff. To reserve a free booth and/or sponsor the festival, fill out the  vendor and sponsor form  by Sept. 8.     

For more information regarding the festival, visit the  Local Food Festival website . For answers to questions, please contact Megan Kemp at  [email protected] .
