UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA ANNUAL REPORT 2001 24 Research The year 2001 saw the consolidation of a new research structure within the University through implementation of the Research and Research Training Management Plan (RRTMP). The new structure has been implemented to allow much greater concentration of resources in areas where the University is nationally and internationally competitive. Divisional Research Institutes (DRIs) have been established in the Academic Divisions. The role of the DRIs is to > Monitor and review research strengths > Advise the Divisional Pro Vice-Chancellor with respect to distribution of research funding > Implement the RRTMP and develop annual research operational plans > Monitor the quality of the research and research training As a result of an extensive review of research activities across the University, nine areas of research strength (ARS) [Table 1] have been identified on the basis of performance (research income, publication, higher degree by research student load and completions, and critical mass of active research academics). Existing research centres and nodes have been incorporated into the new structure. Areas of research strength are structured to > Ensure that an active dialogue is established within the research strength to enable the development of further research opportunities > Report to the Divisional Research Institute on matters related to the operational workings of the Research Training and Research Management Plan, and particularly on the quality of research supervision and support provided to emerging researchers > Identify and develop research projects and research partnerships within and external to the Division, together with potential sources of research funding > Encourage, assist and support staff, including adjunct and associate staff and postgraduate students, to initiate, conduct and complete quality research projects > Provide an annual report to the Divisional Research Institute, which will include statistical data on the performance of the research strength in each area and the quality of the research environment. As a general principle of the new research organisation, resources and research student places are allocated to each Academic Division on the basis of the Areas of Research Strength that each Division hosts on behalf of the University. Funds allocated in this manner are used to fund research activities and to maintain a supportive research training environment.
