The College was pleased to submit over 250 research active staff; a significant increase (>30%) on RAE2001 and including a large number of Early Career and NHS staff, highlighting College commitment to training/development and effective integration and partnership with our NHS partners.
The RAE2008 outcomes exemplify our world-leading and internationally excellent research activity across a wide range of disciplines, and most significantly within our submissions to UoAs A2, A4 and B8, reflecting our strategic strengths in Cancer Sciences, Hormones & Genes and Primary Care research.
The results also evidence sustained development in other core areas and highlight significant improvement in Epidemiology and Public Health, Health Services Research and Dentistry (UoAs B6, B7 and C10).
