This session will give you everything you need to generate and communicate real-world impacts from your research. You will learn about practical tools to time-efficiently increase the significance and reach of your impact. Find out how to integrate impact into a competitive research funding proposal. Discuss techniques and strategies for increasing funding success rates from a trainer who has served as a co-chair, panelist and strategy board member for UKRI. Learn bid writing tools that will enable you to co-produce your proposal with key stakeholders and put what you learn into practice in a break-out room session where you will critique how impact was integrated into two contrasting example proposals. As part of the session you will receive a PDF copy of the second edition of The Research Impact Handbook, with a hard copy to follow (sent to your home address).

Key benefits:
• Learn about evidence-based principles for delivering research impact when you don’t have much time
• Discover easy and quick-to-use templates you can use immediately to:
o Prioritise stakeholders and publics to engage with first
o Create a powerful impact plan that will guarantee your research makes a difference without wasting your time
• Discuss tricks of the trade to increase your funding success rates
• Learn bid writing tools that will enable you to co-produce your proposal with key stakeholders
• Find out how to integrate impact into a funding proposal (including an exercise to compare how impact was integrated into two contrasting example proposals.)

At the end of the workshop you:
• Receive slides and links to free resources to help you embed impact in your research
• Have the option to make a commitment to an action based on the course and receive a follow-up email from Prof Reed to check in and help as necessary after a month
• Are invited to an optional free follow-up programme over five weeks, so you can apply what you have learned. You can work through these steps yourself from the handbook, but by signing up to take these steps online, you get access to extra material. Each step consists of a 6 minute video with accompanying text and tasks
