Audit of Research Activities ongoing or planned during 2023

To better understand the research ongoing within each FIA Department, we would ask you to complete the following brief questionnaire. It will allow the senior leadership team within the FIA to fully appreciate the work that is already taking place and, importantly, help to realise its full potential. Thank you in advance for your participation.

To ensure consistency, we define ‘research’ in this case as ‘the generation of new data or findings emerging, normally, from a structured approach, arising from a set of research aims and objectives.’ Similarly, it is possible, that your department produces research but does not publish or otherwise disseminate it or you collaborate with external institutions, such as Universities, and see considerable potential to grow this.

Please answer the following questions, providing an appropriate level of detail in each case. It is important, however, when referring to data your department holds, that it should be anonymised in all cases and only information reflecting the main aspects of the research being undertaken should be provided. A reminder that the responses provided here are solely for internal reporting purposes.

Name of Directorate * (Required)

1. Please briefly list the research projects ongoing (if any) within your department, providing a summary of the objectives of each. * (Required)

(If the answer to the above question is ‘None’ then please skip questions 2 to 4).

2. Through its involvement in research (as outlined in response to question 1), what forms of data does your department generate and hold?

3. Does your department publish or otherwise disseminate research findings from projects it either leads or collaborates on?

4. Do you collaborate with outside agencies/ institutions, such as Universities? If so, please list them here?

5. Looking to the future, do you see potential to design and implement a research agenda, including projects that can lead to the publication of findings, within your department? * (Required)

6. Whether you are considering new projects or continuing existing ones, what support and training could you and/or your team benefit from to help support the further growth of research within your department? * (Required)

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.
