Engagement and Impact Assessment 2018-19

In EI 2018, the four engagement indicators were supplementary to the engagement narrative. Their purpose was to provide quantitative evidence of links between researchers and end-users of research.

There were four compulsory indicators of research engagement with end-users included in EI 2018:

• cash support from research end-users (specified HERDC Category 1 and Categories 2, 3(i,ii,iii), and 4)
• HERDC research income (specified Category 1 and Categories 2, 3(i,ii,iii), and 4) per FTE
• proportion of specified HERDC Category 1 grants to total HERDC Category 1 grants
  • grant amount
  • number of grants
• research commercialisation income

Note: HERDC refers to the Higher Education Research Data Collection which is the annual data collection exercise undertaken by the Department of Education and Training.
