Income
Award of HERDC reportable research income of at least $100,000 over the past 3 years. Evidence of a viable plan to be competitive for Cat 1 income (at least as part of a team) by at least years 3-4 of employment at UC.

Note: It is noted that different FoRs will have varied opportunities to attract research funding and the ERA national data showing average income per annum per FTE for different FoRs should be used to guide PDR discussions.

Not satisfied.

Viable plan needs to be developed.
