At its meeting on 18 February 2022 the SRG agreed options for changes to the design of Evidence Portfolios. The Group now seeks feedback on the proposed options.  

Feedback on the options for Evidence Portfolio design will be considered by the SRG at the end of April, and recommendations developed alongside the final recommendations on changes to the PBRF definitions of research and research excellence. We anticipate that the TEC’s In Principle decisions on the PBRF definitions of research and research excellence, and EP design, will be confirmed in mid-2022.

The confirmed consultation schedule is available on the TEC website, and updates including consultation outcomes will be made regularly. The SRG will operate between September 2021 and the publication of the final Quality Evaluation 2025 Guidelines in June 2023.

The consultation period for this second paper is 4 March – 18 April 2022. Feedback may be submitted via the online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KYWGXYR.

Information on the 2025 Quality Evaluation and the SRG is available on the TEC website.
