La Trobe University is a member of the Innovative Research Network of universities in Australia, a group that collectively receives over $340 million in research grants. In Biochemistry and Cell Biology, La Trobe was the only university whose research output was rated well above world standard (scoring the maximum 5). Additionally, Biological Sciences was also rated 5 overall. Fifty-nine percent of La Trobe results (at the four digit level) were at or above world standard (ratings 3, 4 or 5), with 27 per cent above world standard (ratings 4 or 5). La Trobe had the 13th highest proportion of four digit ratings that were above world standard. Condensed Matter Physics and Human Movement & Sports Science were also rated as well above world standard (rating 5). History & Archaeology and Language, Communication & Culture were rated above world standard at the two digit level. The results are in line with the research investment strategy in research physical infrastructure such as the LIMS and AgriBio projects, and will inform further development of research concentration. This will be important to ensure further improvement in research quality and output in the University in line with the Strategic Plan

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“I did my research and decided I just had to live it.”
—Karina O’Malley, U.S. sociologist and educator. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A5 (September 16, 1992)
