Time Allocation Survey¶
This page gives an overview of the Time Allocation Survey, describing its current status, where and how it's developed and deployed, and who is responsible for maintaining it.
Service Description¶
The University undertakes an annual Time Allocation Survey (TAS) which involves asking University academic staff whose duties include Teaching and Research to estimate the time they spend on these and other activities. The purpose of the TAS is to attribute costs to these activities.
The results are then used (in conjunction with other cost drivers) to ascertain the costs of Teaching, Research and Other activity by the University and to calculate the University’s Research fEC rates.
Service Status¶
The Time Allocation Survey is currently live.
Contact¶
Issues discovered in the service or new feature requests should be opened as GitLab issues in the application repository.
