The Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) Evidence Portfolio schema and Census file specification required for the 2012 Quality Evaluation are now available.
We have published the following supporting documents required for the Performance-Based Research Fund 2012 Quality Evaluation:
- Evidence Portfolio Schema Definition Document
- XSD Schema Definition File
- XML Sample File
- Census File Specification Document
Note that these documents and files may be subject to minor revision as a result of technical testing which will occur during 2011. We will let you know if a new version is published.
These documents will assist TEOs in their preparation for the 2012 Quality Evaluation; however it is important to understand that the information system required for the submission of EPs by TEOs will differ from that used in 2006.
