BTI Research Income

BTI's quality research is recognised by the Tertiary Education Commission in the form of additional funding from the Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF).

Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF)

PBRF considers the quality of research carried out by researchers working at Tertiary Education Organisations, rather than the quantity of research outputs or the particular nature of the research as such.  The purpose of the Performance-based Research Fund (PBRF) is to ensure that excellent research in the tertiary education sector is encouraged and rewarded. This means assessing the research performance of tertiary education organisations (TEOs) and then funding them on the basis of their educational performance. 

There are three elements to the fund; Quality Evaluation (QE),  External Research Income (ERI) and Research Degree Completions (RDC).

The primary objectives of the PBRF are to:
  • increase the quality of basic and applied research at New Zealand's degree-granting tertiary education organisations (TEOs)
  • support world-leading teaching and learning at degree and postgraduate levels
  • assist New Zealand's TEOs to maintain and lift their competitive rankings relative to their international peers, and 
  • provide robust public information to stakeholders about research performance within and across TEOs.

Quality Evaluation (QE) & External Research Income (ERI)

BTI participated in the 2012 PBRF process. Within its TEO division (PTEs) BTI is one of only two institutions which attract ERI (External Research Income) funding.
