Consultation: Reform of higher education research assessment and funding
Source: Department of Skills and Education
Date: October 2006
Cancer Research UK responded to the Department for Education and Skills' consultation on proposals to replace the current Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) with a metric-based system. A research assessment model with greater emphasis on metrics-based research assessment may well be appropriate for evaluating cancer research. However, new measures ought to be based on a properly evaluated set of metrics comprising not only an element of input measures, but also output measures.
