  1. The Vote Formula Imperial College’s Resource Allocation Methodology Carole Hobden Planning April 2010

  2. What is the Vote Formula? • The College’s main mechanism for distributing general funds to the faculties (and the Business School) • Most (but not all) income from HEFCE and from fees that the College receives is distributed to faculties through the Gross Vote Formula • Some of that resource is retrieved through the Infrastructure Charge mechanism to fund the College’s support services

  3. The Vote Formula • Each Faculty (and the Business School) receives a Net Vote allocation • This consists of its share of the Gross Vote • Gross Vote = T + R + c + s + o + p • less its share of the Infrastructure Charge • Net Vote = • Gross Vote – Infrastructure Charge

  4. 2010-11 Vote Formula:Allocating the Gross Vote Gross Vote £192M The following four items are distributed to faculties before the teaching and research formula are used Research Teaching £17.6M - £0.4M £3M HEFCE funding for charity funded research (c stream) HEFCE funding for strategically important and vulnerable subjects (s stream) 100% premium element (premium fee less standard fee) (p) 25% standard overseas fees (o) - £1.5M £16M £15M Gross Vote remaining £139M The Gross Vote is then split between R and T using the “R:T ratio” These amounts are distributed via the Research and Teaching formula using weightings and volumes Teaching (55%) £76M Research (45%) £63M 2008 RAE-active staff (Category A) Student load (PGR) Research grants and contracts exp. on staff • Student load (UG and PGT) Volumes (i.e. activity) • Type of student (UG, PGT) • Teaching (own, service, export) • Subject • RAE quality weighting • Subject Weightings
