Statement <strong>of</strong> Service Performance<br />
• In part, the increase in external research income for 2002 reflects more comprehensive procedures implemented<br />
during the year to account for research income.<br />
• The <strong>University</strong> is developing its research strategy to ensure that in addition to supporting core activities, its areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> excellence and unique research capability are enhanced, and opportunities are taken to collaborate pr<strong>of</strong>itably<br />
with other universities and industry partners both within New Zealand and internationally. These developments<br />
are reflected in the strong growth in research income in 2002. The high level <strong>of</strong> research activity is also reflected<br />
in staff publication figures and the level <strong>of</strong> patent applications in 2002 (see Table 2.1)<br />
• The Internal Research Budget was reduced in 2002 in line with the <strong>University</strong>’s Financial Recovery Plan. This will<br />
be increased in due course. To aid the <strong>University</strong>’s financial recovery, the Research Committee agreed to the<br />
reduction <strong>of</strong> two postdoctoral fellowship awards from those planned for 2002.<br />
• The following table shows research income per the financial statements analysed by major funding source. This is<br />
different from the above table, which shows research grants awarded in the 2002 year. Awarded grants will<br />
relate to future years not just the 2002 year.<br />
