The Research Excellence, Performance and Systems team provides advice and data to a range of internal and external stakeholders of the University

We  are research performance specialists responsible for government submissions such as the ARC Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) and Engagement and Impact Assessment, and the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC).  We collect, manage and report on the University’s research outputs and work in collaboration with other units on internal and external reporting and analytics  of Griffith's research data.

The team also manages the annual process to review research centres and institutes as well as the guidance around export control permit applications as part of the strengthened export controls program by the Australian Department of Defence.
