This indicator focused on the proportion of HERDC Category 1 funding which arose from specified HERDC Category 1 grants (research end-user sponsored) compared to all HERDC Category 1 grants. Research end-user sponsored grants indicate a cooperative approach to research.

The indicator included two separate calculations:

  • the proportion of the number of specified HERDC Category 1 grants to the number of all HERDC Category 1 grants
  • the proportion of the income from specified HERDC Category 1 grants to the income of all HERDC Category 1 grants.

Proportion of specified HERDC Category 1 grants to all HERDC Category 1 grants is displayed in a distribution chart showing the proportions for both the number of grants, and income, from specified Category 1 grants of all HERDC Category 1 grants. Comparing the two proportions helps interpret the depth of engagement (income—organisations providing the grants are more invested financially) and breadth of engagement (counts—more projects with investment from organisations). For this indicator, the band is inclusive of the value of the band. For example, 01 Mathematics, 1 UoA was in the band greater than 15 per cent and less than, or equal to, 20 per cent (income) while 3 UoAs were in this band for number of grants (counts).

Note: EI does not include all types of funding reported under Category 3. The following subcategories are excluded:

  • HERDC Category 3(i)—subcategory of ‘Australian’ income: HDR fees for domestic students are not considered to be research income or end-user funding for the purpose of EI 2018.
  • HERDC Category 3— subcategory ‘International C: HDR fees for international students’ are not considered to be research income or end-user funding for the purpose of EI 2018.




  • Total HERDC income (specified HERDC Category 1 and Categories 2, 3(i,ii,iii) and 4) per FTE
  • Research commercialisation income
