19 Tex. Admin. Code § 15.26 - Research Performance Funding
(a) In a
state fiscal year, the Coordinating Board shall confer with the Legislative
Budget Board to determine Research Performance Funding allocations for each
TUF-eligible institution based on the following:
(1) Eighty-five percent (85%) of the Research
Performance Funds shall be allocated based on the most recent three-year
average of combined Federal Expenditures and Private Expenditures. The
allocation shall be proportional based on the institutions' share of total
combined Federal Expenditures and Private Expenditures.
(A) Federal Expenditures and Private
Expenditures are as reported in each state fiscal year on the Research
Expenditure Survey as required by §
13.303 of this title (relating to
Standards and Accounting Methods for Determining Total Research Expenditures).
Private research expenditures include business expenditures, nonprofit
organization expenditures, and all other expenditures.
(B) For purposes of the allocation of the
Research Performance funds, Federal Expenditures and Private Expenditures shall
exclude unrecovered indirect costs and pass through funds to other general
academic teaching institutions, medical and dental units, and other agencies of
higher education.
(2)
Fifteen percent (15%) of the Research Performance Funds shall be allocated
based on the most recent three-year average of research doctoral degrees
awarded. The allocation shall be proportional based on the institutions' share
of the total research doctoral degrees awarded.
(A) Research doctoral degrees that qualify
for purposes of calculation are those that are reflected on a list of research
doctoral degrees published annually by Coordinating Board staff on March 1 of
each fiscal year. Research doctoral degrees include an academic degree beyond
the level of a master's degree that typically represents the highest level of
formal study or research in a given field and that requires completion of
original research.
(B) The list of
research doctoral degrees shall be annually updated by Coordinating Board staff
to reflect all degree titles included in the most recently published National
Science Foundation Survey of Earned Doctorates and any additional degree titles
identified by the Commissioner.
