This section provides detailed profiles of national ERA data by two- and four-digit FoR codes. The data was submitted by higher education institutions at the four-digit FoR code level. The two-digit FoR report the aggregated data of all the four-digit FoR codes which sit beneath the relevant two-digit FoR code.
This table shows the total amount of HERDC Category 2 research income submitted to ERA 2018 for each year of the reference period. For ERA 2018, the reference period for research income was 1 January 2014—31 December 2016.
