Introducing Jo Schofield, the new Funding Development Officer for FMC

Hi, I’ve recently been appointed the new Funding Development Officer for FMC. You might be familiar with my name as I’ve been working at BU for more than ten years now in Research Development and Support (RDS).

I will be supporting colleagues in research applications, checking eligibility and funder guidance, advising on timescales, costing and pricing, producing pre-award contractual documentation, institutional approval and proposal submission.

My previous role was on the post-award side, administering the 500+ externally funded projects, processing claims, travel and expenses. I’ve also worked on the ethics panels in the past as the committee clerk.

I look forward to meeting you online or in person in room W329 in Weymouth House most Tuesdays.
