QUT has experienced the strongest, sustained research growth of any university in the sector over the last ten years.

The Portfolio is comprised of five units including Research Strategy and Policy, Research Infrastructure, Sustainability Strategy, Office of Research Services and Office of Research Ethics and Integrity.

Research Strategy and Policy provides strategy and policy advice and support to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) in addition to managing and coordinating the activities of the Portfolio Office, providing operational leadership and financial management oversight of the Portfolio’s budget and the University research budget.
