Blank page with centered writing
I am wanting to create a page with the words "Research Plan" in the center. I currently have the following code
newpage
addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Research Plan}
vspace*{fill}% * is needed here
noindent
makebox[textwidth]{fontsize{50}{60}selectfont Research Plan}
vfill
newpage
However the words "Research Plan" don't seem to be perfectly centered, they seem a bit too low. In an ideal I would have the text slightly above center but I am happy to try different ideas and see what is best.
horizontal-alignment vertical-alignment titles

As long as the text is only a few words, you can use the structurecenterline{...}. Everything else you have looks okay. A more "LaTeXy" construction is to place the text (and the font spec) betweenbegin{center} ... end{center}.

This looks quite close to what I am wanting, how would I change the font size of this please? Also is there a way to get the text about 1/3 of the way down the page instead of slap bang in the middle? Thanks!

Yeah about 60 would be great, and then how would I get the text to be about 1/3 down the page, I am sorry for being a pain. I am quite new to LaTeX so thanks for the help!!

You can use eso-pic's AtPageCenter or AtTextCenter to position content at the centre of the page or text block:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{eso-pic}
usepackage{lipsum}% Just for this example
begin{document}
lipsum[1-5]
clearpage
AddToShipoutPictureFG*{%
AtPageCenter{%
raisebox{-.5height}{makebox[0pt]{fontsize{50}{60}selectfont Research Plan}}
}%
}
mbox{}addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Research Plan}% Set something on the page
clearpage
lipsum[1-5]
end{document}
mbox{} just sets a blank element on the page so it can be shipped out when you issue clearpage (or newpage) and also establish the appropriate marker for the contents entry. During page ship-out, AddToShipoutPictureFG* places the content in the ForeGround of the page (just for that page as a result of *). The use of makebox[0pt] ensures that the element remains horizontally centred, while raisebox{-.5height} ensures vertical centering.
