Executive summary
Purpose
1. This document specifies the content and data requirements for submissions in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) and guides higher education institutions on policy and practical matters in preparing submissions.
Key points
2. In December 2006 the four UK higher education funding bodies will invite all eligible UK higher education institutions to make submissions in the 2008 RAE. Submissions will contain a common set of data comprising:
- information on staff in post on the census date, 31 October 2007
- details of publications and other forms of assessable output which they have produced during the publication period (1 January 2001 to 31 December 2007)
- data about research students and research income and a written commentary relating to the assessment period (1 January 2001 to 31 July 2007).
Submissions will be assessed in the course of 2008. Results, which the higher education funding bodies intend to use in calculating research grants from academic year 2009-10, will be published in December 2008.
Action required
3. This document is for information and to guide institutions in collecting data for inclusion in RAE 2008 submissions. No action is required by higher education institutions at this stage.
