Resources

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return Capital grants: Capital grants are those grants provided to a HEP to purchase an asset of a durable nature, even if the asset is for the purpose of conducting research. Capital grants are distinct from grants for research infrastructure. Grants for research infrastructure are considered to include grants for specific and specialised equipment which are used in the conduct of research. Consultancy: A consultancy is the practice of providing expert advice, specialist knowledge or objective review within a particular field. Consultancy fees for the conduct of projects or provision of services that do not comply with the definition of research must not be counted in a HEPs research income return. Net Receipted Income: HEPs should only report net receipted income in their research income returns. Net receipted income is the amount of research income a HEP (or subsidiary) retains in its accounting system after shared research income has been divided and/or third party income has been expended and/or distributed and is verified in its audited financial statements. 3 Definitions

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return Definitions (continued) Research: Research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings. This could include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to new and creative outcomes. Shared research income: Shared research income is income that has been received by a HEP and a partner organisation (HEP or non-HEP) for the purposes of conducting joint research. Higher degree by research training: Higher degree by research (HDR) training is training undertaken by students (domestic and international) to achieve a Research Doctorate (including a Professional Doctorate) or Research Masters (as described in the Australian Qualifications Framework and for which at least two-thirds of the student load for the course is required as research work). 4

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return There is no difference between the 2013 & 2013 HERDC Specifications that relate to the Research Income Return 5 Key differences between the 2013 & 2012 HERDC Specifications

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return HEPs should only include net receipted income in their research return. This income must: be recognised in the HEPs financial system as being related to the 2012 year, consistent with its audited financial statements. Category 4: CRC research income should be related to the financial year; be classified into categories according to the organisation providing the funds; comply with the definition of research be retained in a HEPs accounting systems and verified by the HEPs audited financial statements unless exempt as income received from a CRC; and Be reported in accordance with the Financial Statement Guidelines for Australian Higher Providers for the 2012 Reporting Period. HEPs should apply the principle that no income is to be double counted, or included in the income returns for multiple years. However, HEPs may count research income for 2011 (Categories 1, 2 and 3) and (Category 4) ONLY where the HEP has made a genuine omission of that income from its previous years HERDC return and the HEP can verify to its auditors satisfaction that the income has not been reported in the previous years return. General Requirements

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 7 Net receipted income to be included Stipend and Scholarships for HDR students enrolled at the HEP, unless explicitly excluded Competitive, peer reviewed HDR stipend and scholarships from non-Australian industry of non-Australian Government agencies Income derived from the investment of donations, bequests and foundations Travel grants where funds are provided specifically for the purpose of travel and used to enable access to a program of research. Researchers using the funds are expected to be active participants in the program, rather than observers or visitors Funds provided for the conduct of clinical trials provided the purpose of the trial meets the definition of research Research infrastructure grants, unless explicitly excluded. This includes grants for specific and specialised equipment used for the conduct of research Income from overseas HEPS provided specifically for the conduct of research Income used to manage staff directly engaged in the conduct of research or providing professional, technical or clerical support or assistance to those staff

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 8 Net receipted income to be included (continued) Income received in support of: professional, technical, administrative or clerical support staff directly engaged in activities essential to the conduct of research the activities and training of HDR students enrolled at the HEP: o this includes funds providing the cost of a students HDR fee-paying place, but excluding Commonwealth supported places or places funded through RTS. Funds include tuition fees that fee paying students (non Commonwealth supported) pay to their HEP for a HDR program or HDR- related course of study the development of HDR training and courses the supervision of students enrolled at the HEP and undertaking HDR training and courses research and experimental development into applications software, new programming languages and new operating systems Where a HEP receives a general or untied grant from an Australian government (whether Commonwealth, state, territory or local) for the purposed of conducting research, the HEP may report the proportion of that grant that can be clearly and transparently attributed as to be expended on the direct costs of conducting research. HEPs must exclude indirect costs of conducting research to be expended from the grant.

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 9 Research income which cannot be included Income above the amount of net receipted income Research income received by the HEP from its subsidiaries Research income received by the HEP from any other Australian HEP or its subsidiaries except in respect of shared income or transfers Income received by a HEP or its subsidiaries for the rental and use of its facilities and accommodation, even if this is related to the conduct of research Third party income (except where the third party is a subsidiary of the HEP or where the HEP has made payments for goods and services in support of the conduct of research under the control of the HEP) Scholarships or grants that are provided by the HEP for its own students (eg SUPRA stipends) Income received in respect of fees that have been charged by a HEP to a domestic HDR student who has exhausted his/her RTS funding entitlement and has continued his/her enrolment. Income received in respect of Commonwealth contributions paid by the Australian Government directly to HEPs for Commonwealth supported places Income received by honours students, or by HEPs on behalf of honours students, for the research component of their honours degrees, including externally funded scholarships or stipends

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 10 Research Income which cannot be included (continued) Research income not related to a HEP but received by its affiliated organisation/s In-kind contributions Capital grants National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) grants, Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage-Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF), and Independent Research Institutes Infrastructure Support Scheme (IRIISS) grants Grants from the Higher Education Endowment Fund (HEEF) or the Education Investment Fund (EIF) Funds received through the ARCs Research Networks Scheme Funds from the Commonwealth Grants Scheme (CGS) Income received from a general or untied grant from an Australian government (whether Commonwealth, state, territory or local) that cannot be attributed as to be expended on the direct costs for conducting research, even if the income was provided for research purposes. HEPS must not include indirect costs of conducting research that are to be expended from the grant. Income received for government grants that are for other purposes which have been specified by the funding source or sponsor (such as teaching), even if a proportion of the income is to be expended on the conduct of research at the HEPs discretion

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 11 Research Income which cannot be included (continued) Income received by HEPs from the sale of assets, even if that income is to be expended on the conduct of research at the HEPs discretion Funds provided for specifically for the purpose of hosting, organising or travel to and attending a conference, workshop or meeting unless funds are specifically for enabling access to a program of research Funds provided specifically for the purpose of producing research publications Consultancy fees for project that do not meet the definition of research Interest income accruing to research grants and contract research grants Research income received by independent operations which do not meet the definition of a subsidiary Income from the High Performance Computing and Communications Program, to or through the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing Income provided for preparation for teaching

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 12 Research income which cannot be included (continued) Funds used for: Scientific and technical information services General purpose or routine data collection Standardisation and routine testing Feasibility studies (except into research and experimental development projects) Specialised routine medical care Commercial, legal and administrative aspects of patenting, copyright or licensing activities Routine computer programming, systems works or software maintenance Grants from the following DIISRTE programs: Research Training Scheme (RTS) Joint Research Engagement (JRE) Sustainable Research Excellence (SRE) Research Infrastructure Block Grants (RIBG) Commercialisation Training Scheme (CTS) Australian Postgraduate Awards (APA) International Postgraduate Research Scheme Awards (IPRS) Collaborative Research Networks (CRN)

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 13 Third Party Income Third party income cannot be reported under a HEPs Research. Exceptions are: Where the third party is a subsidiary of the HEP and the research income is retained in the HEPs accounting system and verified in the audited financial statements; or Where a HEP has made payments to a third party for goods and services in support of the conduct of research under the control of the HEP Treatment of partial research income It is often the case that HEPs receive funding for the conduct of research projects, but there can be funding for activities that do no comply with the definition of research or are excluded for income collection purposes. HEPs are reminded that, for the total income that they receive for each research project, they can only report net receipted income they have received for the HERDC reference year for activities which comply with the definition of research and are consistent with the inclusions.

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 14 Treatment of general and untied income from government grants Where a HEP receives a general or untied grant from an Australian government (whether Commonwealth, state, territory or local) for the purposes of conducting research, the HEP may report that proportion of the grant that can be clearly and transparently attributed as to be expended on the direct costs of conducting research. HEPs must not include indirect costs of conducting research to be expended from the grant. In identifying the direct and indirect costs of research supported by this general or untied income from each eligible government grant, HEPs must use a method that is consistent with the principles and method that they have adopted to implement the transparent costing under the Sustainable Research Excellence (SRE) initiative. HEPs must not include any income received from government grants that are for other purposes which have been specified by the funding source (such as teaching), even if a proportion of income is to be expended on the conduct of research at the HEPs discretion.

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 15 Treatment of income from HEPs affiliations/partnerships with external organisations The key requirement is that HEPs can only report net receipted income under their research income return, i.e retained in the HEPs accounting system and verified in its audited financial statements. Where HEPs have entered into formal employment arrangements with researchers in affiliated or partner organisations (external to the HEP), income that can be reported must be net receipted income and commensurable with the employment arrangements. However, HEPs can report the total amount of income for a research project – even if the researcher(s) conducting the research project is partially employed by the HEP (i.e. the HEP pays a proportion of salary direct to the researcher or there is a formal legal relationship or agreement which covers employment) – as long as the HEP is the grant recipient and where the total amount of income is net receipted income (i.e. received, retained in the HEPs accounting system and verified in the HEPs audited financial statements). Employment arrangements must be bona fide, HEPs must exclude that research income which is subject to cost reimbursement arrangements with affiliates or partner organisations (i.e. to reimburse research costs, including researcher salaries) which are not explicitly covered within a formal legal relationship between the HEP and the external organisation. The transitional arrangements that applied to the development of formal arrangements with researchers in affiliated partner organisations for reporting of research income are no longer valid, Formal arrangements must be in place for income received from HEPs affiliations/partnerships with external organisations in 2012 to be counted.

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 16 Income received through shared research arrangements Shared research income should be assigned to the appropriate reporting category according to the original source of income. A grant is considered shared research income if a component of the grant is passed from the primary recipient to another party, where that party is named in the contract/agreement for the grant or tender/application for funding. A party may be a HEP, the staff of a HEP, or another research performing organisation. For example, if HEP A receives a grant of $50,000 of which $20,000 is transferred to HEP B, HEP A should report $30,000 and HEP B $20,000. Double counting should not occur. It must be possible for the net receipted income by each HEP to be identified in its audited financial statements. Transfers Where a HEPs staff are transferring to another HEP and carry research grant funding with them this must be reflected in adjustments to the affected HEPs income returns. The receiving HEP should categorise the income according to the organisation that originally provided the funding. GST Where a HEP provides research services and charges GST, it should report only the research income it receives exclusive of GST

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 17 Research Income Categories Subject to complying with the definition of research and the specifications, HEPs must enter all research income into the Research Income Return – Return 1 according to the following four categories: Category 1: Australian competitive grants Category 2: Other public sector research income Category 3: Industry and other research income Category 4: CRC research income The department expects HEPs to manage their own processes for categorising research income correctly. Where HEPs have received funding from multiple sources for a research project, then funding must be apportioned to the correct category based on each funding source.

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 18 Research Income Categories (continued) Category 1: Australian Competitive Grants Consists only of income from those research schemes and programs listed on the 2013 Australian Competitive Grants Register (ACGR). Category 2: Other public sector research income Australian government - Non Category 1: This is any other income for the purposes of conducting research received from the Australian Government, whether via programs, grants or contracts, that is not eligible for inclusion as Category 1 research income. State or Territory government: This is income for the conduct of research received from state or territory government departments or agencies, whether via programs, grants or contracts. Local government: This is income for the conduct of research received from local government departments or agencies, whether via programs, grants or contracts.

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return Government Business Enterprise: This is other income for the conduct of research received from enterprises that are wholly or partly owned or funded by Commonwealth, state or territory, or local governments; have a board; and operate on a profit or cost-recovery basis. Cooperative Research Centres: This is research income from CRCs in which the reporting HEP was not defined within the Commonwealth Agreement as the researcher or a participant. Reporting of eligible general or untied income from government grants: HEPs are to report any eligible proportion of general or untied income received from government grants for the purposes of conducting research according to the source of the grant. 19 Research Income Categories (continued)

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 20 Research Income Categories (continued) Category 3: Industry and other research income Must be categorised into the following subcategories: Australian Contracts – contract research income provided by industry or other non-government agencies Grants – grants for the conduct of research other than government provided grants Donations, bequests and foundations – donations and bequests for the conduct of research that have received from Australian business, Australian non-profit organisations and Australian individuals HDR fees for domestic students – funds received for providing the cost of a domestic students HDR fee-paying place. This includes tuition fees that domestic fee-paying students pay to their HEP for a HDR program or HDR-related course of study Many research income arrangements involve grants covered by a contract. In categorising funds as either contract research income or grant income, HEPs should regard: Funding for research where the project was developed primarily by the funding agency, or jointly by the funding agency and the investigator(s) as contract research income Funding for research where the project was developed primarily by the investigator(s) as grant income

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 21 Research Income Categories (continued) Category 3: Industry and other research income (continued) International International A: Competitive, Peer-reviewed research grant income Competitive grants, peer-reviewed grants for research from non-Australian industry or non- Australian Government agencies including non-Australian industry collaborative research grants.

This includes tuition fees that international fee paying student (non Commonwealth supported) pay to their HEP for a HDR program or HDR-related course of study. For donations and bequest (Australian and international): Where all, or a proportion, of a donation or bequest is invested then only the income earned from that investment which is available for expenditure on research in the reference year should be included.

Swinburne 2013 HERDC Research Income Return 23 Research Income Categories (continued) Category 4: CRC research income HEPs must report the research income received for the financial year from a CRC in which they were defined within the Commonwealth Agreement as Participant, and are a signatory to the CRCs Commonwealth Agreement or Participants Agreement.
