Executive summary

Purpose

1. This document provides feedback on the first phase of the initiative to reward and develop staff in higher education. It includes analysis of institutions' human resource strategies, and the status of those strategies (full or emerging).

Key points

2. The majority of institutions submitted strategies that were classified as emerging (see Annex A).

3. The HR supplement funding is as indicated in HEFCE 01/16. Funds are being profiled with institutions' core grant in the normal way, payable from August 2001. The funding was allocated in proportion to institutions' combined basic recurrent HEFCE grants for teaching and research. The Teacher Training Agency (TTA) will provide support under this initiative for TTA-funded activity.

Action required

4. No further action is required in 2001. Those HEIs with emerging strategies will be asked to submit full strategies by 1 June 2002.
