Research Plan Review

The Research Plan Review is to be developed by the HDR candidate and their supervisor in the first 6 months of candidature, and reviewed by the end of March each year. The Research Plan and annual review of the plan provides an opportunity for candidates and their supervisory panel to monitor the candidate's progress and ensure they are on track for timely completion.

A template has been developed to assist candidates and supervisors to develop a plan, and track key milestones and achievements related to the research. Documenting these details of candidature each year will enable the candidate and supervisory team to monitor progress against individual goals.

The Research Plan Review is to be completed in addition to the Annual Progress Report completed in September each year.

The Research Plan Review template is available on the Research Forms page. For more information on the Research Plan Review and other milestones refer to the HDR Progress and Milestones Policy and companion procedures.
