Vice-Chancellor's Research Advisory Committee

Entity Details

Entity titleVice-Chancellor's Research Advisory CommitteeEntity identifier240Entity typeAgencyDate range1991DescriptionEstablished by the Vice-Chancellor early in 1991, the VCRAC had arisen out of a review of senior administrative structures. Research had previously been managed by the Research Committee which was disbanded and replaced by the VCRAC and the Committee of Associate Deans (Research) to involve researchers more directly in the formulation of policy and advice to the Vice-Chancellor. Members were nominated by the Vice-Chancellor and had no specific terms of office. The role of the VCRAC was to advise the Vice-Chancellor on major broad-ranging aspects of research policy, and links with the wider community, state and federal funding agencies. The first seven meetings of the Committee concentrated on applications for Co-operative Research Centres. Its next four meetings considered questions of research administration and management. The VCRAC also advised the Vice-Chancellor on the distribution of the Development Fund. During 1991-92 the policy structure and administration of research at Monash was reviewed. The VCRAC appears not to have met following presentation of the review report to Academic Board.
