The High Cost/Low Cost schema is used by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and
Workplace Relations (DEEWR) (formerly DEST) in the research and research training performance-based
funding calculations. |
|
|
[The information below is sourced from the following page on the DEEWR website: http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/research_sector/programmes _funding/general_funding/rbgrants/calculation_methodology.htm] One of the data inputs used for the research block grant programmes relates to the successful completions of higher degree by research (HDR) degrees by students in higher education institutions. HDR student completions data are collected under Higher Education Student Data Collection (HESDC) and, for use in research block grant calculations, are weighted by level of course (i.e. Doctorate or Masters degree by research) and/or by course cost (i.e. whether the course is identified as a high cost course or a low cost course). HDR student completions data are averaged over the two most recent years for which they are available. |
|
|
For RTS grant amounts, completions comprises 50% of the performance index and are weighted by level of course and by cost of course, as follows: High Cost Doctorate Degree by Research weighted at: 4.7 High Cost Masters Degree by Research weighted at: 2.35 Low Cost Doctorate Degree by Research weighted at: 2.0 Low Cost Masters Degree by Research weighted at: 1.0 |
|
|
Another data input for the research block grant programmes relates to each higher education institution’s Commonwealth Funded higher degree by research (HDR) student load. HDR student load are collected under the HESDC and, for research block grant calculations, are weighted by course cost, as follows: RTS High Cost Places weighted at: 4.7 RTS Low Cost Places weighed at: 2.0 |
