RSE units that offer development services at all scales have proven to be a success story at many research institutions and have rapidly grown in size due to the influx of third party funding.
307309
Notable examples~\autocite{Katz2019} are \eg{} Manchester~\autocite{Sinclair2022}, Notre-Dame~\autocite{NotreDame2025}, Stanford~\autocite{Stanford2025}, Princeton~\autocite{Princeton2025, Cosden2022a}.

Founded in January 2017, the Research Computing department of Princeton University has experienced a tremendous growth from the initial two FTEs to a total of 18 FTEs in the span of five years~\autocite{Cosden2022a}.

This growth is based on a continuous influx of new funded projects once successful projects showcase the additional value of RSE services to researchers.

\textbf{Success Story:} The University of Manchester Software and Data Science group has successfully established specialised development services within their institution:
313+
The “Mobile Development Service” \autocite{manchester_mobile} team consists of RSEs that focus solely on developing and deploying mobile apps.
316314
Without a central RSE unit to anchor such specialised expertise, it would be difficult to establish such a service.
317315
Also, having this expertise centralised allows for synergies in the deployment procedure for mobile apps:
318316
The RSE unit can create institutional accounts with the app stores and manage the time consuming deployment process including hard-to-setup procedures like code signing.
319317
Besides the technical benefits of this central deployment procedure, the institution will also benefit from the increased visibility and potentially be able to build a brand with its technological output.

We believe that the credibility of a research proposal that is asking for RSE funds is greatly enhanced if the RSE unit is part of this proposal from the beginning.

Over time, more and more researchers and proposals are expected to follow the institutional policy such that a consistent stream of income can be generated.

\paragraph{Offering of additional services}
585583
With the additionally acquired funds, the service portfolio of the RSE unit can be enhanced regarding the modules described in \autoref{sec:vision}.
586584
Obviously, the selection of modules and their share in the overall portfolio depend on the services that have been applied for in the corresponding proposals.
587585
As this is strongly connected to hiring persons with the required expertise, this has to be carefully planned, see also below.
