Timetable 2009HEFCE consultation - closes 16 th Dec Early 2010High level outcome of consultation 2010HEFCE establishes expert panels and publishes guidance to institutions 2012Institutions make submissions 2013Assessment and outcomes published 2014Outcomes inform funding

REF Consultation Proposals Research “… a process of investigation leading to new insights effectively shared” Fewer, larger Units of Assessment with greater consistency of approach across them Institutions select staff for inclusion Outputs(60%) Environment(15%) Impact (25%) Outcome will be a profile (4* to Unclassified)

Outputs 3 or 4 per person submitted? Double-weighting - how defined? Use of bibliometrics in some areas

Environment Management Resourcing Engagement

Impact Pilot underway Assess at level of submitted unit Impact arising from excellent research Case studies – what is the impact, how did the unit contribute, evidence of underpinning research Impact statement – at level of submitted unit
