CALL FOR RESEARCH EXCELLENCE FRAMEWORK PANEL MEMBER NOMINATIONS
Deadline: *Friday 10th September 2010 *
HEFCE has issued the call for nominations for membership of the REF
subpanels. Learned Societies such as the Social Policy Association are
invited to make nominations. The SPA is therefore inviting members to make
nominations for the Social Policy and Social Work subpanel. You can either
nominate yourself or a colleague (we would ask you to speak to the colleague
beforehand to make sure that they are willing and available to be
nominated).
* Next steps:*
1. Please send nominations for panel members by Friday 10th September to the
SPA Honorary Secretary Tina Haux [log in to unmask]
2. The SPA Executive Committee will consider nominations, to make sure that
they meet the criteria and reflect a balance of expertise/interests, and
decide on final nominations at its meeting on 17th September.
3. The SPA will submit final nominations in time for HEFCE's deadline of
8th October.
*How to submit nominations*:
Please send all nominations directly to the SPA honorary secretary Tina
Haux [log in to unmask]
*What HEFCE is looking for:*
HEFCE suggests that panel members are: 'practicing researchers of suitable
personal standing who collectively have an appropriate breadth of research
expertise and can carry the confidence of the community.' Panel members
are meant to represent the full breadth and diversity of the discipline.
Previous assessment experience is desirable though not essential. For more
