A better solution
Streamline your research processes
In its simplest terms, research management touches all aspects of an institution’s business, including its academics, students, partners, funders and administration staff. Throughout the research life cycle these stakeholders are vital and Unit4’s research management solution helps institutions to manage this process against a background of changing demands, uncertainty in funding streams and increasing competition. The quality of an institution’s research and subsequent standing in the sector are vital for protecting and growing valuable research income.
Unit4 Research Management lets you automate research administration, giving you reliable, real-time data for finances and funding management. With a robust data ecosystem, you’ll be able to proactively manage budgetary concerns and complex revenue sources, while ensuring compliance with international and local legislation.
The solution helps universities to focus on bids which reflect and support their strategic objectives and where they are more likely to succeed, while streamlining and reducing the effort involved in the creation, review, approval and submission of applications for research projects and grants.
Pre-award management tools let you more effectively identify projects that are right for you, with a unified system of research “master data” to improve your decision making and empower your collaborative, inter-institutional efforts. Existing projects are optimized with management tools that integrate with your HR systems to help you target the best talent for any given task and quickly identify staffing gaps and skills shortages.
