Evaluating impact

• NIHR has a responsibility to demonstrate the value and impact of the research that it funds

• We collect data on impact through a number of routes

What do we do with impact data?

• Demonstrate NIHR success

• provide a strong evidence base to support the continued funding of health research in the UK

• report research outcomes to Government

the publicother organisations

Researchfish – what is it?

• online tool for collecting research activity data

• trainees can log on at any time (after NIHR invitation)

• data will remain in Researchfish, so you will not have to enter this information again, only update it in the future

• used by over 100 research organisations and funders, which makes it possible for researchers to provide information to multiple funders in one place

Open Researcher and Contributor ID

• The ORCID Registry is free and provides an ORCID identifier to manage your record of activities, and search for others in the Registry

• a unique identifier to ensure research outputs are correctly attributed to you and avoids ambiguity of similar named researchers

• Since September 2015, NIHR has been rolling out the requirement for lead applicants to provide their ORCID iD when submitting new funding applications

Distinguish yourself – get your own ORCID ID at http://orcid.org
