Is the TAS exercise compulsory?
Yes – if when you log onto the PEGASUS system there is a TAS questionnaire to be completed you should do so. (Please note that questionnaires will only be published at the end of each data collection period – you will be notified of publication at that time) It is very important that a satisfactory response rate is received if we are to be able to apply to Research Councils on a fEC basis. If we cannot apply on a fEC basis then we will certainly lose out on the additional funding being made available and in addition are likely to recover less Research Council income than we do presently.
