Performance-based allocation of funds
The aim of performance-based allocation of funds (LOM) is to reward top performers and create competitive incentives to increase performance in research and teaching. In the so-called state-LOM, the seven faculties in North Rhine-Westphalia compete with each other, while the focus of the Faculty of Medicine of Düsseldorf's internal LOM is on the individual institutes and clinics.
In the faculty-internal LOM, 20% of the material costs for research and teaching are currently distributed on a performance-oriented basis. The same parameters are used as for the LOM of the state of NRW.
As with the state LOM, 5% of these funds are deducted from the faculty-internal LOM and distributed according to the promotion of women in the academic field.
The remaining funds are allocated according to the following criteria:
- 30% according to the third-party funds spent
- 45% according to publication performance
- 25 % distributed on the basis of teaching performance
The criteria listed above are weighted differently:
Third-party funding
The third-party funds spent in the last three years are included in the calculation. The last year is weighted 3 times, the year before last 2 times and two years before last 1 time.
A further weighting of the third-party funds is carried out on the basis of the different third-party funders:
- DFG funds spent are included in the calculation with a factor of 5
- peer-reviewed third-party funds (ministries, EU & peer-reviewed foundations) are weighted with a factor of 3
- Contract research and non-refereed foundations with a factor of 1
Publications
All publications of the Faculty of Medicine are recorded in the online database EvaLuna. The publications recorded here from the five-year period are evaluated according to a cumulative citation score, the "pJCS value (publication type-specific journal citation score) citation score".
