The Research
Office welcomes back The ANU RQF
Panels are now in the process of identifying the ANU’s Groups and their
membership. The Groups will form the
basis of ANU’s submission to DEST. We are planning to have all Groups and
their membership identified before the end of November to enable us to
provide an initial report to DEST in January 2008. As part of our
RQF preparations, almost all eligible academic staff have now been contacted
and requested to update their publication information and their RFCD codes
and to identify their best six publications on ARIES. The remaining eligible
staff should receive a request from the Research Office this week. The Go8
Research Office Directors meet recently at the The ORMD has
commenced work on updating the Research and Postgraduate Activity (VC's) Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is used by the VC as part
of the management information for the Budget Process. It is vital that all Colleges ensure that
all of their grant and research contract information (including information
on the recently announced 2008 ARC and NHMRC rounds) is up to date in
ARIES. ORMD has included a request on
ARIES data quality elsewhere in this Newsletter. |

government. The future of this scheme is unknown at this stage and all
details are to be confirmed. We

encourage they check the ARC web site at: http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/lx/lx_ici.htm for further updates. As

LUNCHTIME SEMINAR SERIES The Office of Commercialisation is hosting two more lunchtime seminars
as part of the RO lunchtime seminar series. Topic: Protect or Perish? The fundamental decision
point in commercialisation is whether to protect or publish your research.
This is often the most difficult decision to take, as at the point of
invention your picture of what your discovery means, who might be interested,
and what is already out there will not always be clear. This seminar will draw from discipline specific examples in providing
tips on how to identify if your research is patentable, and what you should
consider in following the protection vs the
publishing path. Physical Sciences - Seminar Venue: Innovations Lecture Theatre, RSVP: commercialisation@anu.edu.au by 3 December (Physical Sciences) |

New Schemes in ARIES ·
Travel Grants - Higher Degree Research Student Conference

Travel Grants - Higher Degree Research Student Travel ·
Travel Grants - Recent/Junior Staff Travel ·
Travel Grants - Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coursework
Student Travel ·
Travel Grants - Visiting International Academics Any enquires relating to entering
applications in ARIES may be sent to RO.ITHelp@anu.edu.au or phone ext. 51541 Missing Applications Although some areas have a well-defined process for ensuring that
applications (as opposed to successful grants) are entered in ARIES as soon
as they are submitted, we are aware that others have a backlog. Please enter outstanding applications as soon as possible. Why is this important? ·
Applications are an essential component for
measuring research activity. ·
Colleges need the information for overall future
planning. ·
Faculties, Schools, Centres and Departments need
to know future commitments of resources (both money and facilities) as these
will impact on staff planning, resource planning (equipment and buildings)
and bids for general funds. ·
Research Development Managers need to know
whether granting bodies have been approached previously. ·
Researchers need to have evidence of
applications for promotional and c.v. purposes and
to identify where the application is in the system. ·
Last, but not least, the Central Administration
needs the information for long term planning, identifying activity involving
other universities, and to measure its promised contributions for specific
schemes. If you need help extracting a report identifying the number of
awarded grants compared with applications for any of your areas please
contact us. Any queries may be made to Loris Trainor, David Lewis or Annika
Landsmann – RO Business Solutions Group – RO.IThelp@anu.edu.au ext 51541 |
