 %We follow here the definition: “Research Software includes source code files, algorithms, scripts, computational workflows and executables that were created during the research process or for a research purpose”, with full definition and discussion provided in~\autocite{Gruenpeter2021}.
 
 The number of people developing software in academia is constantly rising~\autocite{Hannay2009, Hettrick2015}.
-Research Software Engineering consists of actions necessary to create, adapt, or maintain Research Software or train others to do so.
+Research Software Engineering consists of actions necessary to create, adapt or maintain Research Software or train others to do so.
 These actions are very diverse and so are the environments they are performed in.
 This position paper focuses on (groups of) research software engineers and researchers who require RSE for their research.
+We advocate the establishment and support of dedicated, central RSE groups in German research organizations, with clearly defined tasks, contact points, and, in particular, sustained funding.
+We provide an overview of the various task these teams have and discuss potential realization strategies, learning from already existing examples of such an RSE unit.
 
-\subsection{Terminology}
+Before we motivate the topic of this position paper further, we first introduce the terminology used throught this work.
 Depending on the national research
 environments and processes that readers are familiar with, the notion of the terms \emph{software} and \emph{research} might differ.
 The term “Research software” is also defined somewhat differently within the community.

 We refer by researchers to all others involved in research or in research supporting organizations such as \eg libraries,
 hence those that are at most sporadically performing RSE actions.
 
+Furthermore, we will use the general term \textbf{RSE Hub} for the central RSE team throughout this paper. 
+These RSE Hubs can take the form of, e.g., full RSE departments, smaller RSE groups, Open Source Program Office (OSPOs), virtually across multiple units or combined under one single leader, depending on the evironment of the particular research organization under consideration.
+All of these implementations are considered here, taking into account the large variety of research environments in Germany.
