Abstract
This paper undertakes a statistical analysis of the Universities Funding Council's 1989 research selectivity exercise, focusing on differences between universities in the research rating obtained by individual cost centres. The statistical analysis indicates that several variables are significantly related to interuniversity variations in research rating. These include a cost centre's size, the research rating of other cost centres in the same institution, research expenditure per staff member and whether a university was previously a college of advanced technology. Several other variables, such as the student:staff ratio, were found to be statistically significant in only a few cost centres.
