Consultation paper on New Zealand’s Performance-Based Research Fund outlines changes to evidence portfolios
The Tertiary Education Commission has agreed in principle that researchers’ evidence portfolios for the Performance-Based Research Fund should only contain three “examples of research excellence”.
The commission, which is carrying out a review of the fund, has published a consultation paper saying it agrees with the idea of streamlined evidence portfolios and a new “narrative” component to explain the arc of a researcher’s output over time.
