Description
While a wealth of resources has been developed to help researchers plan for and communicate their projects anticipated impact when applying for funding proposals, not many resources have been developed for researchers when communicating their own impact as researchers at an individual level.
To support researchers in doing this Dr Giovanna Lima and Sarah Bowman have developed the Researcher Impact Framework (RIF). This framework helps to better share a broad spectrum of the researcher’s achievements in generation of knowledge, development of individuals, forming collaborations, supporting the research community and broader society.
The RIF provides a structure for crafting audience-focused evidence-based impact narratives that connect scholarly activities and relevant reach, use and relevance data to scientific and societal outcomes. RIF is accompanied by two bespoke databases to encourage and assist researchers to capture their impact across a range of scholarly activities along their research journeys.
The Framework was formally launched at Trinity in October 2022. It is a result of the authors’ work in the Research Impact Pilot that is ran by the Office of the Dean of Research, the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Institute, and the School of Medicine at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, since 2020. It was informed by the multiple engagement and knowledge exchange opportunities which includes collaborating on capacity-building workshops, profile reviews, and proposal development, with Trinity colleagues.
The RIF can be a very useful tool for adequately recognizing and rewarding activities of individual scholars in the core domain ‘impact’. It provides a structure to discern the individual contribution to the impact of the team, department or organization.
