Measuring the Effectiveness of Research Grant Getting
Abstract
To a very large extent, the national and international reputation of major research universities depends upon their research performance. That explains why competition is so fierce among them to get as much as they can from the three Canadian government major granting agencies. This study demonstrates how performance indicators were developed to measure the effectiveness of research grant getting among eleven Canadian universities. It shows how amount of money received, size of teaching staff, and disciplinary characteristics were standardized to yield objective disciplinary and institutional rankings.
