New Year, New Resolutions – Join us on 23rd January

We’ll be setting up base in the Faculty of Health & Society Academic workspace on Wednesday, 23rd January for this month’s drop-in.  Look out for our pink pop-up banner in LH301 on the third floor of the Learning Hub at Waterside.

Come along between 1-3pm for a chat with our friendly team about all things research related.  Need advice on REF2021 or Pure?  Nick Dimmock from LLS will also be on hand to answer your questions on these.

No need to let us know in advance if you’re planning to drop by, but if you have something specific you’d like to discuss then drop us an email so we can be ready and waiting for you.

We wish you a merry RIFS-mas!

With the University about to close for the festive break we thought we would take the chance to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

The RIFS team will be available up until Friday 21st December and then back in the office on Wednesday 2nd January.

Is it your New Year’s resolution to be more active with research funding? If so, why not stop by to see us in January and we can help you make a plan for 2019.

RIFS are now on Twitter

To keep up to date with what’s going on around research and funding across the University, you can now follow us on Twitter – @RIFS_UoN

We’ll also be curating follow lists of our researchers to make it easier to find your colleagues.

Why not stop by and say hello?

Getting in touch

As well as a new name we have a new email address to match!

We can now be found at RIFS@northampton.ac.uk.

This is the perfect place to send an email if you have a general enquiry or aren’t sure who to approach directly. One of the team will pick up your email and reply within one working day. We have a redirect set up from our previous account, so no emails will get lost in the changeover.

Welcome to our new blog!

Welcome to the new RIFS website!

We decided it was time to freshen up our online presence as well as our name. We’ve taken the content that was previously located on our NILE site and put together this page, which we hope you’ll find easy to use and informative. Although we’ve worked hard on this new venture, there may well be the odd typo or broken link lurking somewhere. If you spot anything awry then please email us or comment here and we’ll fix things.

Our next job is to look at the kind of digital resources we offer, both updating the ones we already have and creating new ones based on what people need. If you have any suggestions or requests then please get in touch.
