The RDU are delighted to introduce Caroline O’Kane as our new member of the team!
“When I’m up and running I’ll be looking after the Research Peer Review Service. At the minute you can find me in Melbury House but I will be moving to Talbot Campus before too long.
I may be new to BU but I’m not new to proposal development and bidding. I’ve worked in international development for 13 years, where I was heavily involved in the bidding process from initial concept to developing and submitting funding applications and then to managing resulting projects.
I’m not new to the area either – myself, husband (1), children (3) and chickens (2) live just down the road in Parkstone.
Over the next couple of weeks I’m looking forward to getting to grips with the RPRS. If you’re any way involved in funding applications then I’ll be introducing myself to you soon.
You can contact me on extension 61356, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursday mornings”
