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:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
