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 3 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.
HERDC Category 3 income refers to income from industry and other non-Australian government organisations. This category of income is broken down into three sub-categories: Australian, International A and International B (detailed below).
The ‘median Income’ column shows the middle amount of Category 3 income submitted to ERA 2018 from an individual institution for an FoR code across the three-year reference period. The 'maximum Income' column shows the highest amount submitted to ERA 2018 from an individual institution for an FoR code across the three-year reference period.
