10 Griffith University Annual Report 2007 Performance: Research

During 2007 the University assembled an RQF project team which oversaw the compilation of research portfolios for 25 groups to be submitted for assessment. Working closely with RQF group coordinators, the team assembled extensive evidence supporting the quality and impact of Griffith University research for the period 2001–2006. The RQF was then discontinued by the newly elected Federal Labor Government, however, it is expected much of the data collected within Griffith during 2007 will assist with preparation for the planned alternative. The RQF exercise has also assisted the University to focus more attention on research quality and impact and review its internal targets and Griffith researchers are working at protecting river and coastal ecosystems in Australia’s processes. top end.

Griffith University Annual Report 2007 17 Performance: Funding

Funding The 2006–2010 Strategic Plan makes three commitments in relation to strategy surrounding the topic of funding.

Commitment 1: Aligning financial resources with key activities and goals.

Groups and support elements are required to produce and report on operational plans, budget principles and on budgets consistent with the achievement of the key performance indicators. A target of five percent of the University’s total operating fund has been set to be allocated to the Vice Chancellor’s strategic development fund.

Commitment 2: Efficient use of existing resources.

The University will continue to streamline its administrative and support processes (Project Streamline) enabling staff to focus more effectively on pursuing the University’s core objectives. All areas of the University are required to review their expenditure with a view to identifying Vice Chancellor Ian O’Connor with National Rugby League CEO David Gallop (right) at the savings that can be re-allocated to achieve launch of the Gold Coast Titans partnership with Griffith. the University’s strategic objectives. Each group explicitly sets aside a proportion of its budget for strategic initiatives.

Commitment 3: Expanding the resource base.

The University’s overall objective is to increase its total income and to diversify its sources of funding at every level, especially the proportion of funds obtained from sources other than Commonwealth funding for student load. Resources can be increased from five sources: • Commonwealth Grants Scheme • research grants • business activities • tuition fees Signing of agreement with the Indonesian government for the Centre for Sustainable • philanthropic and special grants, which Development in Indonesia. will entail a development strategy.

84 Griffith University Annual Report 2007 Appendix 1 Research indicators and targets

1.1 Research outputs Target: To increase quality research outputs by full-time equivalent (FTE) staff by 10% per annum. Definition: Research outputs per staff FTE is calculated as ‘publication points’ divided by staff FTE in each year. Publication points are reported in the annual Australian Government Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC). Staff FTE is taken from the annual Higher Education Staff Data Collection and includes only full-time or fractional full-time academic staff with a ‘research only’ or ‘teaching and research’ function. Indicators: Year 2002 2003 2004† 2005 2006 2007* Actual publication points 857 1026 1167 1269 1218 Actual FTE staff 903 929 997 1050 1082 Actual publication points/FTE 0.95 1.10 1.17 1.21 1.13 Actual % increase 16.4% 6.0% 3.3% -6.9%

† Base year for target projection * Data not available until later in 2008

1.2 International linkages Target: To increase international linkages by 10% per annum. Definition: The assessment of achievement in international linkages will be based on the following measures: 1. Invitations to give keynote addresses at international conferences 2. International research visitors 3. Funding from overseas funding agencies 4. International research collaborations with duration at least one year, but without direct funding to Griffith 5. Editorial board memberships of international journals. Indicators: Year 2002 2003 2004† 2005 2006 2007* Actual international funding ($000) $1343 $1323 $972 $1810 $1474 Actual % increase -1.5% -26.6% 86.2% -18.5%

† Base year for target projection * Data not available until later in 2008

Comment: The international linkages research performance KPI is still being developed and mechanisms are being built for its data collection. At present, the interim proxy measure for this indicator is external research funding from international funding bodies. The indicator is 25.4% ($296 000) above target in 2006 but fell 18.5% from the 2005 figure which was 69% above the target for the year.

1.3 External collaborations Target: To increase external collaborations by 10% per annum. Definition: The assessment of achievement in external collaborations will be based on the following measures: 1. Collaborative projects with other institutions and/or industry that bring external funds to Griffith 2. All external research collaborations with duration at least one year, but without direct funding into Griffith. Indicators: Year 2002 2003 2004† 2005 2006 2007* Actual external funding ($M) $13.41 $14.25 $13.39 $14.73 $15.25 Actual % increase 6.3% -6.0% 10.0% 3.5%

† Base year for target projection * Data not available until later in 2008

Comment: The external collaborations research performance KPI is still being developed and mechanisms are being built for its data collection. At present, the interim proxy measure for this indicator is external research funding from national and international funding bodies. The indicator increased by 3.5% into 2006 but fell short of the University target for the year by 5.9% ($960 000).

Griffith University Annual Report 2007 85 Appendix 1 Research indicators and targets

1.4 Research income Target: To increase external research income per FTE staff by 25% per annum. Definition: This indicator is calculated as research income divided by staff FTE in each year. Research income is reported in the annual Australian Government Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC). Staff FTE is taken from the annual Higher Education Staff Data Collection and includes only full-time or fractional full-time academic staff with a ‘research only’ or ‘teaching and research’ function. Indicators: Year 2002 2003 2004† 2005 2006 2007* Actual income $M $27.9 $30.9 $31.3 $33.0 $36.0 $42.5 Actual FTE staff 903 929 997 1050 1082 1081 Actual income $000/FTE $30.9 $33.3 $31.4 $31.4 $33.3 $39.3 Actual % increase 7.8% -5.7% 0.0% 6.0% 18.1%

† Base year for target projection * Data not available until later in 2008

1.5 Research higher degree (RHD) completions Target: To increase RHD completions by 5% per annum. Definition: RHD completions are taken from the annual Higher Education Student Data Collection. Indicators: Year of completion 2002 2003 2004† 2005 2006 2007 Actual RHD completions 138 167 168 171 163 174 Actual % increase 21.0% 0.6% 1.8% -4.7% 6.7%

† Base year for target projection

Comment: 174 students completed Research Higher Degrees in 2007. There has been a shift in completions from shorter research masters degrees to PhD completions.

1.6 Income from commercialisation of intellectual property (IP) Target: To increase income from commercialisation of IP by 15% per annum. Definition: This indicator is defined as the projected income from research contracts and consultancies written in a given year. Indicators: Year 2002 2003† 2004 2005 2006 2007 Actual income $M $2.56 $3.05 $11.87 $4.42 $5.56 $5.26 Actual % increase 20% 289% -63% 26% -5.4%

† Base year for target projection

Comments: 2004 income is unusually high as a result of income relating to one particular project, making it impractical to use that year as the base year for the performance indicator targets. The targets have therefore been reset using 2003 as the base year. Commercialisation income for 2007 was $5.26 million, compared to a target of $5.33 million representing the compound 15% per annum increase from the 2003 base.

86 Griffith University Annual Report 2007 Appendix 2 Learning indicators and targets

2.1 Comprehensive Target: To be a university of 42 000 enrolled students (just over 30 000 equivalent full-time students) by 2010.

2.2 Excellent: Retention Target: Retention rate for each program to be at the national average by field of education for that program by 2007, and in the top 30% by 2010. Definition: The retention rate is the proportion of all non-international non-graduating bachelors pass degree students enrolled at a census date in semester one of a year (the base year) who are also enrolled in any program at a census date in semester one of the next year. Only Griffith programs with an enrolment of at least 20 students in the base year are included in the calculation. The retention rate for each program is compared with the national average retention rate for the broad field of education (FOE) of the program. The number and per cent of programs for which the retention rate is at or above the national average for the FOE is reported. The Griffith rates are similarly compared with the lowest rate for the top 30% of the institutions’ rates. Indicators: University target areas 2002–2003 2003–2004 2004–2005 2005–2006 2006–2007 Griffith retention rate 76.5% 76.9% 77.7% 78.0% 78.4% % of programs above national average 46.3% 45.4% 58.5% 51.3% 44.9% % of programs in top 30% 35.3% 31.9% 38.8% 40.0% 34.2%

Comment: The raw retention rate for Griffith bachelors degree students has risen every year since 2002-2003 and the fall in performance indicator figures in the last two years is due to national rates increasing faster than the Griffith rates in the broad fields of health, management and commerce, and society and culture.

2.3 Successful: Graduate success Target: To be in the top 30% nationally by 2010 for each program by field of education (FOE) for the proportion of graduates who are in full-time work or have proceeded to further study. Definition: Graduate success (GS) is defined as the proportion of non-international bachelors pass degree respondents to the annual Graduate Destination Survey (GDS) in full-time study or available for full-time work (A) (that is excluding graduates who were not available for full-time work) who reported in the GDS that they were in full-time study or full-time work (S) (that is GS = S/A). The Griffith University data set is limited only to programs with at least ten respondents to the GDS in the year of analysis. The graduate success rate for each program is compared with the lowest rate for the top 30% nationally of institutions’ graduate success rates for the broad FOE of the program. The number and per cent of Griffith programs for which the graduate success rate is at or above the cut-off rate for the top 30% of institutions for the FOE, is reported.
