Research Communications

What is Research Communications?

We are a communications support office reporting jointly to the Chief Communications Officer in Public Relations & Strategic Communications and the Office of the Vice President for Research.

Our charge is to enhance the UK research enterprise by communicating the impact of research across all UK colleges and research centers/institutes to general audiences and support the communication efforts of units under the Vice President for Research that serve investigators, staff, postdocs & students conducting research at UK.

For specific audiences

Video abstracts for journals

For research topics that lend themselves to a conversation format or extra content that doesn't fit into a short (2- to 3-minute) video, we produce the "Research Made Possible" podcast. Explore our podcasts.

We produce and maintain top-level sites for the Office of the Vice President, Research Support Units and Core Facilities. See Research site.

For website support or questions, contact Branden Wawrzyniak.

UK Research logo

There are three different versions of the UK Research PowerPoint template. Choose the color scheme that works best for you from S harePoint. Do not edit the SharePoint file. Edit the file you download.
You can edit these templates by going to View/Slide Master, click on the top slide in the left-hand column and edit the unit name and date as needed.
