Research Benchmarks: research benchmarking, research benchmarks, research data, research funding

Compare and Compete.

What is it?

Universities and Higher Education Institutes have an increasing need to measure their performance against their peers. Research Benchmarks is our new data comparison platform, which allows institutions to benchmark themselves across the widest range of competitive data sets available.

Adopted by many UK institutions, Research Benchmarks is used by:

Deans of departments, schools and faculties
Pro-vice chancellors
Research directors
Research funding bodies
Government bodies
Agencies
Research committees and organisations

Using a unique combination of data from the Research Assessment Exercise, the Higher Education Statistics Agency and previously awarded grants, we have developed a research benchmarking tool which integrates all this information and can quickly return highly relevant and useful comparative data sets for your institution, to help you make sound strategic decisions.

What our customers think

"We found the benchmarking service extremely useful... It saved us a great deal of work and prompted thinking around the critical areas. The accuracy of your predictions was much appreciated."

Dr Elizabeth Robertson, Dean, Graduate Research School, University of Teesside
"I’ve found Research Professional to be really useful. Getting a regular email update of upcoming funding opportunities tailored to my subject area has saved me a lot of time and has even revealed extra sources of possible funding that I hadn’t considered before."

Dr Adam Baldwin, University of Warwick
"If the research funding opportunity isn’t on Research Africa, it doesn’t exist."

Riana Coetsee, Manager: Research Capacity Development & International Funding, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa
"I know Research Europe very well. It is the most important magazine on research policy out there. It's brilliant. We all read Research Europe religiously."

Lise Lotte Toft, Chief Adviser, Danish Agency for Science
"I am finding Research Professional very useful. It keeps me up-to-date and well informed about potential funding opportunities from a large number of different sources. I doubt if I would have time to check for this sort of information from all sources on a regular basis."

Professor Colin Murrell, University of Warwick
"The introduction of the new workgroup functionality [on Research Professional] has allowed us to set-up homepages of tailored saved searches and folders of selected funding opportunities for our academic divisions and some departments and research groups. It is early days yet, but it is hoped that this will save our researchers time, as they can now browse and subscribe to these pre-configured searches/email alerts instead of having to reinvent the wheel and set-up their own searches."

Zoë Power, University of Oxford
