Research Performance. It is the duty of the project coordinator of the responsible institution to monitor the research activities closely. The research results obtained should be compared with the progress plan and timetable of the project on a regular basis. The coordinator must make appropriate intervention if the progress of the project is not satisfactory.
Research Performance. ▪ Of the 981 institutions included in the THE World University Rankings for 2017, Trinity is in the top 15% internationally for research performance.
Research Performance. Growth in Research Income
Research Performance. The University has set ambitious targets to deliver growth in research income, both through its institutional Strategic Plan for 2015-2020, and through milestones set via the OA. The University retains its longer term aim to increase research income from all sources to £65m under the Outcome Agreement, though extends the timeline for achieving this to 2021. In parallel, it aims to increase income from Research Councils UK (RCUK) to just over £16m within the same period (see Appendix 2). This is a more incremental approach which takes account of different environmental factors that have put pressure on performance; in particular, it should be noted that the number of academics at the University has fallen by approximately 8% in recent years, at least in-part as a consequence of restructuring, making it more difficult to achieve the overarching totals. However, conversely, research income per FTE has grown by 4% (from 2015/16 to 16/17), meaning the University is improving performance, at least in proportional terms. As such, while the targets set have and will be challenging to achieve, they will remain ambitious over the coming years, in line with strategic institutional ambitions. To strengthen its commitments and leadership in this area, the University has recently appointed a new Vice-Principal for Research and Knowledge Exchange along with three Deans of Research and KE. To achieve its targets for growth, it will pursue the range of strategies and activities outlined in its three-year OA, published in 2017 (please cross refer). Notable developments include: · Internal Research Review: this was led by the Vice-Principal for Research and Knowledge Exchange, looking at the structures the University has in place to support interdisciplinary research. The recommendations to emerge include an institutional pump priming fund for interdisciplinary research, and the recognition of interdisciplinary research activity in the institutional promotions criteria. The report recognised the importance of the institutional research facilities in enabling interdisciplinary research and proposed additional support for early career researchers who wish to use the facilities.

Research Performance i. Research Output, measured by the total number of research papers (10%)
ii. High-Quality Publications, measured by the number of research papers appearing in top-tier journals (10%)
iii. Influence, measured by the number of research papers appearing in highly- influential journals (10%)
iv. Citations, measured by the number of highly-cited research papers (10%) According to these parameters, the chosen universities, as leading universities, are represented in Table 3-1concerning their ranking positions on the platforms.

However, there are some universities that are in better or worse positions because of the coverage of different trending universities around the world. In the leading list, there are universities from the UK to Australia, from Italy to the USA for supporting the reference universities to highlight various entry requirements, educational purposes, university characteristics, and academic systems. Meanwhile, the leading reference universities are also highlighted concerning higher and lower (based on ranking scales) academic qualification levels to mention differences between the universities according to academic qualification and preferences. In addition to this, there are some universities that are out of range (N/A) on the ranking platforms as the University of Stavanger, the Molde University College, and the NYU Shanghai. These out-of-range universities represent that they are not ranked by the platforms because they are not sufficient to be considered in the chosen range that is defined by the ranking platform.

Research Performance. As described in our literature review, women tend to receive less research funding than men. To get an idea about whether there were gender differences in research funding among our respondents, we asked them whether they had received a grant for doing research. A total of four out of ten out of all PhDs had, with women actually being more likely to have received one: 45% of female PhDs had, compared to 37% of males (p = 0.006 in Xxxxxxx’x χ2 test of independence). However, as indicated in the first part of the results section, a greater share of women than men were working in academia. Among only those currently working in academia, 54% of females had received a grant, compared to 48% of males, but this result was not statistically significant (p = 0.138). Clearly, female and male recent PhDs from Dutch universities are equally likely to obtain research funding. One explanation given for gender gaps in academia is that women are less confident about their capabilities and careers than men (Xxxxx, 2010). On the other hand, studies on the academic productivity of male and female academics also suggest the gender gap in publishing may be closing (xxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, 2014). Therefore, we asked the respondents how they would rate their scientific oeuvre. A slightly higher share of men indicated that their scientific oeuvre is “more than good enough” to build an academic career on (22% of males vs. 16% of females). However, a slightly higher share of women said their scientific oeuvre is “good enough” (56% of females vs. 52% of males). Furthermore, neither of these differences were statistically significant. Therefore, among recent PhDs in the Netherlands, women are as confident about their scientific oeuvre as their male counterparts.
