From the Director of the ROThis
week marks the end of the financial year and the due date for the HERDC
income and publication collection. As
such it has been a busy time for many College staff (with the usual end of
financial year rush of contracts and ARC Discovery Rejoinders) as well as the
staff of the Office of Research Excellence (ORE) and SPF. I would like to express my
appreciation to all members of the Colleges who have worked hard over the
last few months in providing publication information to the ORE or have been
involved in assisting in the HERDC income return. These returns are important to the
University as they are used as the basis for our DEST Block Grant Funding
(RIBG, IGS, RTS and APAs). I would
also like to thank Beverley Payne and Margaret Richardson for their
coordination of the publication collection and Melissa Hayes and other staff
in SPF for their work on the research income collection. After
the completion of HERDC, ORE will focus on the RQF. We are expecting the RQF guidelines to be
made available very shortly and we will be seeking Colleges’ assistance in
the preparation of the University’s submission. |

From the Office of the Vice Chancellor
During the
oncoming months the DVC, Professor Lawrence Cram, and the PVC, Professor
Mandy Thomas, will be giving presentations on the Research Quality Framework
(RQF) to various sections of the University. These talks will provide
background information on the genesis of the RQF, the possible impact of the
RQF on the ANU and how the University is preparing itself for the assessment
exercise. All members of staff are invited to attend these talks, and we
would appreciate it if you could ensure that researchers in your respective
areas are informed of these meetings. See below for a full schedule of the
talks for your information. If members of staff from an area are unable to
attend their scheduled presentation, they are more than welcome to attend one
of the other talks. Any queries regarding these talks can be directed to
Kylie Clark (kylie.clark@anu.edu.au; x58487).

ARIES updates
Publications The
collection of the 2006 HERDC data is complete. Thanks to everyone who
wrestled publications out of academics and entered them in ARIES. We are
delighted with the way publications officers collaborated with each other to
enter publications having authors in several departments. We are now
developing processes for entering data for the Biosciences Review. Details
will be sent to Publications Officers shortly. Grants
Data for the
ARC 2008 discovery applications has been downloaded from GAMS to ARIES.
Thanks to everyone for your patience. College
research officers and grants contact people: several people have asked for
their contact information to display the College, rather than Faculty School
or Centre. Unfortunately we cannot do this in Aries. However Aries does allow
multiple names in the "Local Business Officer" section, so you
could include all College, F/S/C and department level staff involved with the
grant administration. Currency:
usually the funds requested and received are recorded in Australian dollars.
On the SCHEMES tab the default currency is AUD, but Aries allows other
currencies. If you change the currency, you must enter all requested and
awarded amounts in the selected currency. DO NOT enter the equivalent amount
in AUD. When Aries displays the "total amount awarded" it will
convert amounts requested and awarded across all years and all funds
providers to AUD. |
