Here we explain the importance of reporting your research outcomes to Researchfish, how it can impact future research funding, and what you can do to get ahead and meet the requirements of your research funder for the forthcoming annual return.<\/p>\n
Principal Investigators who hold an award from a funder who uses Researchfish<\/a> must report on the outcomes, outputs and impact of their research annually.\u00a0 Funders gather this information from Researchfish to measure the pathways to impact of research they have funded.<\/p>\n Research funders will want to know about activities undertaken at all stages of the research project.\u00a0 Outcomes and outputs data will be analysed to identify impact, which will be reported to internal and external stakeholders, and supports University of Kent researchers obtaining future funding.<\/p>\n Some funders will impose sanctions<\/a>, where their standard terms and conditions for Researchfish reporting are not met by award holders, which could prevent Principal Investigators from applying for future funding.<\/p>\n Funders will email the Principal Investigator directly about joining ResearchFish<\/a>\u00a0with a link to create an account and associate it with the award.<\/p>\n Outcomes can be recorded at any time throughout the year but the annual fixed submission period varies according to each funder.\u00a0 Add your research outcomes and impact to Researchfish throughout the year to make submitting your annual return quick and simple.<\/p>\n These steps will ensure you are complying with funder requirements:<\/p>\nImportance of reporting to Researchfish<\/strong><\/h2>\n
