Download or read book The Grant System written by John W. Kalas and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1987-10-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past thirty years, the giving and receiving of grants has grown from a small, loosely organized club involving a few elite institutions and a few million dollars to a massive system accounting for more than $75 billion in annual expenditures and involving literally thousands of public and private organizations. This growth has resulted in the formation of a major social and economic system with its own rules and network of institutional relationships. This book analyzes the grant system in its entirety—its history, scope, social and economic impact, importance, and future. This broad approach serves as a good introduction to the grant system for those who are not familiar with it and provides a new, fresh perspective for those who know some aspects of it well.

Book Synopsis Performance-based Funding for the Commonwealth Grants Scheme by :
Download or read book Performance-based Funding for the Commonwealth Grants Scheme written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian higher education is a strong world-class sector. The performance-based funding scheme contributes to the evolution of the whole higher education funding system by balancing certainty with greater responsiveness to public funding system priorities on teaching and learning, while respecting sector differences. Performance measures can be complex and challenging. An analysis of the performance funding models across a number of countries further indicates that there is no 'ideal' model, with each model showing strengths, weaknesses and policy trade-offs. Acknowledging the complexity of this task, the Panel sees the merit of implementing the scheme in 2020 with a simple and resilient model that is predictable with low administrative complexity. This will allow adjustment to shifting national priorities and the changing higher education landscape over time. While stakeholders' views on the design and implementation of the scheme are varied, importantly, we have a broad consensus on a contextually responsive scheme that recognises sector differentiation. The contextualisation of design elements would mitigate the potential perverse outcome of driving sector convergence. Recommendations: Recommendation 1. The performance-based funding scheme should be designed to: create more accountability for the spending of public money on specific national higher education priorities; promote and develop sound performance assessment of teaching and learning at universities; and create financial incentives to improve specific areas of university performance. Recommendation 2. The performance-based funding scheme should be fit for purpose, fair, robust, and feasible. The model should be simple and be reviewed periodically and refined to ensure that it continues to meet its design objectives. Recommendation 3. The performance-based funding scheme should use a standard national population growth rate for all universities. Recommendation 4. The performance-based funding scheme should adopt a 'cumulative limited' approach from 2021, whereby the amount of performance-based funding for which a university is eligible would accumulate over time until it reaches 7.5 per cent. Recommendation 5. Unallocated funding (which should be retained in the higher education sector) should be provided to universities under conditions negotiated between the Department of Education and the university. Recommendation 6. The performance-based funding scheme should be contextually responsive and simple. This will mitigate potential risks of driving sector convergence and an overcomplicated system. Recommendation 7. The performance measures should be core only and set by the Government. Recommendation 8. Universities should have an option to provide a brief qualitative submission, noting that the submission should focus on those measures where incremental improvement could drive the overall performance of the university. Recommendation 9. Student experience should be a performance measure, as measured by student satisfaction with teaching quality for domestic bachelor students. Recommendation 10. Graduate outcomes should be a performance measure, as measured by overall graduate employment rates for domestic bachelor students. [Executive summary, ed]
Book Synopsis Performance-Based Pay for Educators by : Jennifer King Rice
Download or read book Performance-Based Pay for Educators written by Jennifer King Rice and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of a performance-based pay initiative and crystalizes the design issues and implementation challenges that confounded efforts to translate this promising policy into practice. This story has much to say to academics and policymakers who are trying to figure out the combinations of incentives and the full range of resources required to establish incentive programs that promote an adequate supply and equitable distribution of capable and committed educators for our public schools. The book uncovers the conditions that appear to be necessary, if not fully sufficient, for performance-based initiatives to have a chance to realize their ambitious aims and the research that is required to guide policy development. In so doing, the authors consider the thorny question of whether performance-based pay systems for educators are worth the investment. “Education reformers have long known that performance-based pay is devilishly difficult to implement. All too often top-down, piecemeal changes squander scarce resources and undermine trust. Now, Rice and Malen’s first-rate study of one district’s comprehensive pay reform reveals that even well-planned, collaborative efforts easily go awry, casting further doubt on the promise of pay incentives to improve schooling. This book is required reading for all well-intentioned reformers.” —Susan Moore Johnson, Harvard University “Rice and Malen provide a compelling account of one district’s experience with a performance-based incentive program for educators. This book is a rare and valuable analysis of a policy uncovering both the technical and political challenges inherent in designing and implementing reform even under the most promising of conditions. Given the enduring interest in and ongoing federal funding available for pay-for-performance policies—and the surprising lack of research evidence undergirding this popularity—it behooves policymakers, reformers, funders, and students to learn from this important case.” —Julie A. Marsh, University of Southern California
Book Synopsis Outcomes Based Funding and Race in Higher Education by : Tiffany Jones
Download or read book Outcomes Based Funding and Race in Higher Education written by Tiffany Jones and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how Performance or Outcomes Based Funding (POBF) policies impact racial equity in higher education. Over the last decade, higher education has become entrenched in a movement that holds colleges and universities more accountable to its supporters. There are pressures to answer questions about student outcomes and performance, the value of education, the effectiveness of instructors, and the ability of existing leaders to manage efficiently and effectively. It is within this climate that states have adopted POBF policies. Through POBF, public colleges and universities receive state funding through formulas that no longer rely solely on student enrollment, but are instead based on student outcomes. This book provides an overview for policymakers of how racial equity has been addressed, the impact of these approaches, and recommendations for moving forward.

Download or read book An Analysis of Performance-based Funding Policies at an Open Access Institution written by John Brady and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance-based funding policies have become popular among state legislators seeking ways to hold public higher education institutions accountable. Approximately 30 states currently use performance-based funding policies to tie state appropriations to institutional outcomes according to a defined set of metrics. Despite the popularity of the policy approach, very little empirical evidence exists to suggest that performance-based funding is effective in producing the often-intended outcomes of increased student retention and degree attainment rates. Numerous studies have indicated that these policies may produce unintended outcomes including the restriction of access, the gaming of performance-based funding systems, and the widening of equity gaps. This quantitative study employed an independent t test assuming unequal variances to investigate the effectiveness of performance-based funding policies on student retention by comparing the retention rates of full-time, first-time-in-college (FTIC) students by race, gender, and Pell grant eligibility for the four years following the implementation of these policies at a single Florida College System institution. This study also sought to determine if differences exist among enrollment rates for these same variables following the implementation of performance-based funding policies. Though findings were mixed, results revealed that in most cases there were statistically significant differences among the retention and enrollment rates across the variables of race, gender, and Pell Grant-eligibility for the sample of fulltime FTIC students following the implementation of PBF policies. Based on the study findings, policy recommendations are proposed to enhance the effectiveness of the performance-based funding policies for the Florida College System.
