2. Foreword by the Research Institute Director Psychology research continues to advance steadily and is particularly well placed to score well in terms of research impact in the new REF exercise. Our research activity is both interdisciplinary and highly applied with excellent examples of influence on policy and practice. A good example here is the proactive contributions that Ulster psychologists have made to Assembly policy consultations over the past year. Particular mention here must go to Tony Cassidy and the members of the new NIBPS Health Psychology division who have responded to numerous new Assembly health initiatives. A listing of these consultation responses can be found at: http://www.bps.org.uk/publications/consultation-papers/?frmAction=results&op en=false&iYear=2009&RegionID=3&organisationIDs=&strKeywords Excellent progress has made in building links between academics and both policymakers and end-users of research. These include contributions by Christine Liddell to the area of Fuel Poverty; Gillian Robinson’s ESRC funded work through ARK which provides an ideal format for research dissemination and Mickey Keenan’s work with parents and children in the area of Autism. Our postgraduate activity also continues to grow, with large numbers of full and part-time postgraduates on our Magee and Coleraine campuses being complemented by research led master’s programmes. These include applied masters in Behavioural Analysis; Careers Guidance; Mental Health along with a new programme in Health Psychology being planned for a 2010 start. It is particularly pleasing to see this growth in postgraduate research activity, which is a key underpinning feature of our research enterprise. On the Magee campus recent developments have centred on the Mental Health area with strengths in methodology, international collaborations and strong local relationships with Trusts and the Trauma Centre all indicative of real progress. Excellent synergies between postgraduate course provision and research group strengths provide a sound platform for future growth. A new honorary professor in Mental Health (Gerry Leavey from the Northern Ireland Association of Mental Health) has been appointed to further strengthen this area and we eagerly await new initiatives by the MRC the R&D Office and the University which will further build on this area of research excellence. As universities are being asked increasing searching questions about their roles and future directions, Psychology at Ulster is well placed to help address these through its applied regional and international research activities.
