This strategy should be a key area of development for universities, polytechnics and wananga over the period of this STEP. Objectives29. Excellent research performance is encouraged and rewarded 30. Stronger accountability and enhanced performance reporting for tertiary education research 31. Increased global connectedness and mobility 32. A more focussed tertiary research investment through world-class clusters and networks of specialisation 33. Greater alignment of tertiary education research with national goals 34. Improved knowledge uptake through stronger links with those that apply new knowledge or commercialisation of knowledge products 35. Increased breadth of support for research students and emerging researchers, with a particular focus on the development of Māori researchers Priorities for Tertiary Education OrganisationsOver the period of this STEP, universities, polytechnics, wananga and other degree- granting institutions will be expected to analyse existing specialisations and identify their distinctive specialisations (as outlined above in Strategy1). This will assist them to identify, with their stakeholders and end users, their most appropriate areas of research focus and resource concentration, as described in Objective32. These choices will need to be based on an organisation’s distinctive strengths, its contribution to the overall portfolio of tertiary education system research and the research carried out by other agencies such as Crown Research Institutes. This analysis will help TEOs to access the new Performance Based Research Fund. It will also support their selection of the most appropriate national and international networks and clusters. Universities and polytechnics will also be working with end-users and students to identify and implement improved support services for research students, emerging researchers and Mä¯ i researchers, as outlined in Objective35. Priorities for AgenciesFor agencies, the focus will be on establishing the new Performance Based Research Fund, in accordance with Objective29, Objective32 and Objective35, and on developing the next set of Centres of Research Excellence, as reflected in Objective29, Objective33 and Objective34. « Strategy 5 | STEP1 | » |
