Research Impact 19 November 2012 Dr Fiona Cameron Executive Director Australian Research Council

Research Impact Research impact is defined as an effect on, change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment, or quality of life, beyond academia It is the showcase for key stakeholders (government, industry and community) of the real benefits of investment in Australian research activities.

Measuring Research Impact Why now? Key issues and benefits The latest developments in Australia What the ARC currently asks universities to report Future Your views

Why Now? Key issues about impact Increasing competition for research budget Need to demonstrate the value of research Types of Impact (peer, commercial, social, environmental, cultural) Diversity of outcomes from research disciplines and sector specificities How do you report it cost effectively?

The latest developments in Australia Excellence in Innovation for Australia (EIA) Department of Innovation, Industry, Science, Research and Tertiary Education – Feasibility trial – ATN/Go8 trial Publicly funded research agencies – demonstrating innovative outcomes to stakeholders and end-users Some further developments overseas – REF in the UK

What the ARC currently asks universities to report NCGP data collected – eg. Centres of Excellence Scholarly Impact – publications, citations, invitations, prizes and awards, prestigious panels Research income Research training Engagement, End Users Commercial – patents, Plant Breeder Rights, commercialisation income, take up Collaboration with partner organisations

A reality check Balance scale of investment ie fellowships versus ARC Centres of Excellence. the cost of collecting the data with its usefulness

NCGP – What do we use the data for now? Accountability – Annual Report and other Parliamentary reporting purposes Promotion to range of stakeholders Program and scheme reviews Indirectly informs assessment of applications for future investment Trends for policy development and advice, ie business investment, research disciplines – emerging priorities Ad hoc reports and surveys

In the Future: The ARC has been working with: CSIRO, NHMRC, AIMS, ANSTO, DSTO, AIATSIS……. We are looking for a set on data commonalities and a common framework for effective and efficient impact reporting.

How will this effect you? Any suggestions on research impact?: Reporting Assessment Incentives
