The scope of this project is to implement the REF 2021 data requirements which were agreed as part of RIS008 REF2021 Data Requirements Analysis

The requirements which were the recommended option from the output of RIS008 Options Paper

This scope is focussed on data needs that relate directly to academic staff; research grants; and other aspects of the submission that are dependent on data derived from staff or meta-data about academic staff or grants in order to identify the data for submission.

Other aspects of data required for REF2021 are not in scope, for example data relating to impact case studies which is not directly related to staff members.
