Executive summary
Purpose and key points
1. This document sets out the funding bodies' decisions in relation to the following elements of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2008):
- the configuration of units of assessment (UoAs) and the grouping of sub-panels under main panels
- how the two-tiered panel structure to be introduced for 2008 will work, with a summary of the roles and responsibilities of main and sub-panels in assessing submissions
- the procedures for recruiting members of the main panels and sub-panels, including an invitation to nominate.
2. It also describes how, in developing more detailed rules and procedures for RAE2008 over the coming months, the funding bodies propose to address some important issues that were raised in the recent consultation on the configuration of UoAs and assessment panels (RAE 02/2004).
Action required
3. Nominations for members of RAE2008 assessment panels are now invited. Completed nomination forms should be sent by e-mail to the RAE team at info@rae.ac.uk by 15 September 2004.
