Submission in response to the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) Initiative Consultation Paper

On the 4th of June 2008 Senator Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, announced the release of the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative consultation paper.

Administered by Australian Research Council (ARC), the Consultation Paper was the first formal step in communicating with the sector regarding the ERA initiative (it is worth noting that the ERA is being administered by the ARC, whereas its predecessor, the Research Quality Framework (RQF), was administered by the (then) Department of Education, Science and Training(then DEST, now DEEWR)).

Funds to follow researchers

UNIVERSITIES will lose the right to claim credit for the publications of researchers they have nurtured under a proposal to ensure federal research money follows them from post to post.

The proposal to use the location of researchers at a specified census date rather than the institution where the research activity took place is contained in the Australian Research Council's discussion paper on the federal Government's Excellence in Research for Australia initiative.

ERA Consultation Paper

the Australian Research Council (ARC) has released the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative Consultation Paper.

The Consultation Paper is the first formal step in communicating with the sector regarding ERA and the ARC looks forward to your contribution to this consultation process (it is worth noting that the ERA initiative is being administered by the ARC, whereas its predecessor, the RQF, was administered by DEST).
