The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 572 years. Today, we are one of the world's top 100 universities and ranked 13^th in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings 2023, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world.

This will include:

• Defining and prioritising interventions to incentivise and enable ASBS colleagues to receive feedback and advice on research proposals, grow the number of proposals submitted and increase the amount of research funding secured.
