Elle Bickle
Research Project Manager
As a Research Project Manager in the BRC, I support the BRC Director and BRC Operations Manager with the strategic delivery and management of the Sheffield BRC. I work closely with theme leads to monitor and report on objective delivery and BRC strategy design and Implementation. I support the coordination of performance reporting to the NIHR and oversee the management of theme budgets and theme pump-prime funding requests. Working collaboratively with stakeholders across the BRC partnership, I provide strategic and operational support across the BRC, helping to ensure activities align with national and regional priorities.
Career and experience
I joined Sheffield Teaching Hospitals as a Neuroscience Research Administrator within the Academic Directorate of Neurosciences. This role marked the beginning of my involvement in supporting clinical research and provided valuable insight into the operational and governance requirements needed to deliver high-quality research studies.
I later joined the Sheffield BRC as a Project Coordinator, where I managed a large portfolio of clinical studies and supported the set-up and delivery of complex early-phase neuroscience clinical trials. I subsequently progressed into my current role as a Research Project Manager, where I continue to support researchers in delivering innovative translational research across Sheffield.
Why research matters
Throughout my career, I have been passionate about supporting research that improves the lives of patients and communities. I have seen how research can provide early access to innovative treatments that would not otherwise be available, while generating new knowledge that improves healthcare for future generations. I am proud to contribute to the innovative research taking place in Sheffield and to support work that has the potential to make a meaningful difference to people's lives.
