The next PBRF Quality Evaluation will be held in 2025. The TEC is establishing a sector reference group (SRG) to provide advice and recommendations to us on operational changes to the design of the 2025 Quality Evaluation.
The SRG’s recommendations will be developed as part of a public consultation process. Agreed recommendations will form the basis for the PBRF 2025 Quality Evaluation Guidelines.
What is the Quality Evaluation?
The Quality Evaluation is an assessment of the research performance of staff at participating tertiary education organisations (TEOs) by expert peer review panels. It is held periodically and is the largest component of the Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF).
The Quality Evaluation process is based on the submission and assessment of Evidence Portfolios. Peer review panels assess Evidence Portfolios against agreed standards and this process is moderated by the Principal Moderator and Deputy Moderators.
Participating TEOs are also required to review their staff against the eligibility criteria and participate in our audit processes.
Once peer review panel decisions have been made and approved, the results are given to each participating TEO and a report on the Quality Evaluation results is published.
