The ‘explainer’ document has been produced to help institutions communicate with academics and other colleagues around the principles of collecting time data and how the data is used in the TRAC return. It also describes the relationship between TRAC and income received by the institution.
The document is editable so that institutions can tailor the information to apply their own language and style and their collection methodology. This prepared document is available to issue when the data request is made or when asked for additional information – thereby reducing burden for institutions.
