The purpose of this project is to encourage and improve the shared language, process and resource use of pre-award services between UK and Zimbabwean institutions to ensure that our dialogues are more equitable, effective, and efficient. Language is a foundation for effective communication so our project has developed a matrix of pre-award terminology and best practice guidance for implementing monitoring of pre-award terms and the recommendations on software to undertake these activities. It will allow institutions to better engage other research offices for ongoing research applications and encourage stronger relationships between research managers. Having knowledge of applications within and across Zimbabwean universities and their devolved units will allow managers to make connections between potential collaborators and communicate them easily with UK partners. In delivering this project, our team has engaged with UK and Zimbabwean universities, research management associations and funders to connect the language of research development across our networks. More information on the project can also be found on the LSE IRMSDP page.

The language we use in research development, be it funder specific budget terms, or terms for ethics in grant writing, can be inclusive or isolating. Even within the same country, universities of differing origins may use different language for similar or synonymous activities. The aim of this glossary is to provide individuals with the foundations in language, tracking and qualification of research development to better engage other research offices for ongoing research applications and encourage stronger relationships amongst Research Managers and Administrators (RMAs). This booklet presents a non-exhaustive glossary of core pre-award terminology. These are terms that are core for research development functions and can be used for tracking and qualifying for research funding.
The glossary can be accessed here: A GLOSSARY FOR RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT: Exploring core language for tracking and qualification.
