Research Governance & Policies
The School of Advanced Study’s research activities undertaken by staff, fellows and students are governed by the University of London’s Research Policies and Protocols.
Research Governance
Research Services supports the Central University Departments (the School of Advanced Study, Senate House Library, University of London Institute in Paris and University of London Worldwide), overseeing all aspects of pre- and post-award research management, research governance, ethics and integrity, compliance with institution’s and funders’ regulations and the provision of research business intelligence.
We support the University to realise the benefits of the humanities and social sciences for society, to advocate for their importance, and to provide the infrastructure to enable new discoveries and innovation in research practice and theory.
If you wish to apply to an externally funded scheme via the University of London, please ensure that you have read the Protocols on governing research grant applications [PDF].
