email Simon.Kerridge@sunderland.ac.uk
Simon has worked in the University of Sunderland's central research support office since 1995. The current incarnation of the office (GRS) is 8 strong and covers research strategy, pre-award research management and administration and post graduate research student administration. He also has a number of cross University roles including development of new research related information systems, currently focussing on ressearch ethics approvals and research information systems (with an eye on REF). Now that the RAE has been submitted, his main 'project' at the moment is the development of a strategy and a framework for the focussed support of research at Sunderland. In his spare time Simon also sits on the Research Councils' Research Organisation Consultation Group (ROCG), Joint Grants Processing (JGP) Steering Group and Je-S Management Board and appears to have some responsibility for driving forward full economic costing (fEC) at Sunderland.
In various previous lives Simon has been a Researcher (in Computer Science) at both Sunderland (including co-ordinating an EU ESPRIT project) and Durham Universities and a Director of a (very) small software consultancy.
