The Handbook of Research Management is a unique tool for the newly promoted research leader. Larger-scale projects are becoming more common throughout the social sciences and humanities, housed in centres, institutes and programmes. Talented researchers find themselves faced with new challenges to act as managers and leaders rather than as individual scholars. They are responsible for the careers and professional development of others, and for managing interactions with university administrations and external stakeholders. Although many scientific and technological disciplines have long been organized in this way, few resources have been created to help new leaders understand their roles and responsibilities and to reflect on their practice. This Handbook has been created by the combined experience of a leading social scientist and a chief executive of a major international research development institution and funder. The editors have recruited a truly global team of contributors to write about the challenges they have encountered in the course of their careers, and to provoke readers to think about how they might respond within their own contexts. This book will be a standard work of reference for new research leaders, in any discipline or country, looking for help and inspiration. The editorial commentaries extend its potential use in support of training events or workshops where groups of new leaders can come together and explore the issues that are confronting them.

At the age of twenty-five, Mary Byrne Eigel finally found the answer she had pursued since childhood. The reason for her unexplained, persistent pain that compromised her legs and hips was finally named. She learned she had been born with bi-lateral hip dysplasia. Throughout her life, her parents had never provided an answer when she asked, "Why do my legs hurt?" Had this been an intentional cover-up? Was the cultural stigma of a physical defect too much for her family to accept? Eventually multiple surgeries relieved her physical suffering. However, the abrupt absence of her chronic pain forced Mary to confront the mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of the healing. With gratitude for the lessons she has learned, Mary presents an insightful perspective on the attitude, tools, and resources she enlisted while navigating her own road to wellness and a pain-free lifestyle.

Dear Kids:

Hi, I'm Jake. Yes, I'm a dog, but I'm definitely not ordinary! I'd like to be your friend and help you whenever you need me. I can give you advice about anything that's bothering you, because I have a special gift: I can talk to children. My special job is to teach kids about all sorts of things and help them stay safe until they're grown.

When you read my book, you'll see how I've already helped some of my friends understand things like getting sick, looking different from other kids, and adoption. But we've also talked about serious problems they couldn't speak to anyone else about. You can trust me with your deepest secrets.

Sometimes it's hard to talk about what's happening in your life, especially when you've been told not to. If something or someone is hurting you deep inside where no one else can see it, please don't keep quiet. Talk to an adult or talk to me, but just talk. Never stop talking.

Love, Jake
