**About the Research Portfolio**

QUT has experienced the strongest, sustained research growth of any university in the sector over the last ten years. The scale and complexity of research at QUT has reached a level that requires enhanced processes and resources to support the University's research community in meeting its aspirations and compliance obligations.

The Research Portfolio provides high quality support and training and conducts compliance and reporting across a range of obligations at an organisational level in an environment of dynamic growth in cross institutional collaborations.

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. The Graduate Research Education and Development (GRE+D), in Research Strategy and Policy, supports learning and skills development for all research students and their supervisors, thereby preparing industry and work ready research graduates.
