The Industry Commission's Inquiry into RD in Australia: Outcomes and Implications for Research Evaluation Activities

摘要

This paper uses the guidelines for research policy design developed by the Industry Commission to categorise its policy recommendations. The foci of these changes are highlighted and the recommendations that have implications for research evaluation activities determined. Government responses to the IC recommendations are also reviewed from a research evaluation perspective. The trends evident from this review are then used to suggest areas where a group such as REGAE may be able to make a broader contribution to research policy in the longer term.
