The report is linked to the HR Excellence in Research Award which evidences the University's alignment with the <a href="https://www.vitae.ac.uk/policy/vitae-concordat-vitae-2011.pdf" target="_blank" title="Concordat">Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers</a> and will be published within the Award renewal period, 2020-2022. A short case study (excerpt from the review) is provided alongside the HR Excellence action plans.</p> <p>The CROS gathers data regarding working conditions, career aspirations and career development opportunities for research staff in UK Higher Education. </p> <p><a href="/media/osds/organisational-development/hrexcellence/CROS and PIRLS longitudinal analysis case study.pdf" class="ga-event__download">CROS and PIRLS longitudinal analysis case study</a> <abbr>(PDF, 61 KB)</abbr></p> <p><a href="/media/osds/organisational-development/hrexcellence/Appendix A -
