Research Office                                       a business unit within an Eligible Organisation that is responsible for contact with the ARC regarding applications and projects.
Research Opportunity and Performance Evidence (ROPE)  an ARC policy framework used to consider and assess the quality and research excellence of a named participant within the context of the participant's career and life experiences. One key element is that the assessment process takes into account the quality rather than simply the volume or size of the research contribution.
research output                                       includes all products (including Preprints or comparable resources) of an ARC-funded research Project that meet the definition of Research.
