The ARC is developing a new approach to research evaluation, designed to be a useful tool to build understanding, recognise excellence and celebrate the great achievement that is Australian research.The ARC is exploring a flexible, data-driven capability that includes dynamic and interactive dashboards, in-depth reports and State of the Research Environment reports. The intention is to promote positive practices, bolster connections between research, government and end-users, and ensure that knowledge generated through the evaluation process is accessible and actionable without placing an undue reporting burden on universities.Targeted consultation is currently being undertaken to ensure the model is designed to meet the needs of the Australian research community.View the Consultation Draft (PDF, 92KB) of the proposed framework. Please note that this draft framework has been developed for consultation and does not represent a final design.The ARC is looking to seek views of stakeholders during August and September 2025 to help shape the direction of national research evaluation. Discussions will be ongoing as our Research Insights Capability is developed. This website will be updated when further information about the Research Insights Capability is available.For information on previous ARC research evaluations please see Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) and Engagement and Impact (EI).
