NHMRC – Impact Track Record Workshop
Identifying and articulating research impacts
This workshop is designed to guide and advise academics on communicating the research impact they have achieved across the research pipeline.
It includes a number of interactive components and individual activities as well as elements of peer mentoring and support. Participants will be required to come prepared with an idea of the impacts they could use as part of their research impact case study.
Workshop outline:
Understanding research impact
- Deep dive into the four types of impact, as required by the NHMRC (Knowledge, Health, Economic, and Social)
- Consideration of the value and impact of all research outputs (including datasets and software) in addition to research publications
- Indicators of impact – Consideration of the broad range of impact measures including qualitative indicators of research impact, such as influence on policy and practice.
- Outputs vs. outcomes for impact – Gain clarity around dissemination activities versus reach versus impact
- Evidence considerations by impact and indicator type, what is needed to support your claims?
Research users
- Identify the impact activities that were used to translate the research and the audiences of these activities.
- Map your research users to identify potentially uncaptured impacts and to build into the impact pathway as part of your narrative.
Writing styles for impact case studies
- Building your case study, examples of good and bad case studies
- Using a story narrative to articulate your research impact in a compelling way
- Examples and case studies of what an impact pathway looks like in practice
- Case study examples of innovative translation and implementation activities
- Linking the research and the researcher’s contribution to the impacts
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have mapped engagement with stakeholders, impact activities, relevant indicators and identified potential evidence for use in their case study. They will have begun writing the case study with the appropriate language to articulate and highlight their past impacts.
