Data from Grow Impact is essential for our outcome reporting to State Government in relation to the significant infrastructure funding received annually by our organisation. Before Grow Impact was available, we had to contact each individual researcher included in the report to collect their information manually. This was very time consuming. Grow Impact has streamlined this process for us and has improved the quality of the data we provide in our report.
Demonstrate research impact
Grow Impact is a new approach to tracking the progress of research towards real-world impacts over time.
Globally, researchers and funding bodies are increasingly required to communicate the impact of their activities to society and demonstrate return on investment.
Grow Impact is novel software provided as a service that enables researchers to show progress in a manner which is relevant to stakeholders including funding bodies, philanthropy, government, industry and community.
This is a gamechanger for research, allowing transparency and context so everyone involved in the process can see progress towards clear goals.
Show stakeholders how research is progressing towards impact as the research happens
Drive organisational culture towards one of recognising and rewarding activities contributing to engagement and research impact
Strategic management of research at the individual, team, center and organisational level to maximise impact
Provide opportunities for continuous engagement with funders, stakeholders and institutions
Manage and encourage investment in research progressing towards real-world impacts
We make reporting simple.
The Collect module allows your organisation to easily collect and report on key indicators of your researchers’ progress toward impact.
Collect information about research impact that matters to you and your stakeholders
You can customise the types of impact indicators your organisation collects so that your researchers only provide the information that is needed, and you can give stakeholders the information that is most meaningful to them.
Back up impact indicators with evidence
We have created an easy way that you can substantiate impact indicators with evidence through an easy to use linking and upload function.
Simple reporting for you and your researchers
Our report builder is simple, with different access for different people within your organisation depending on their role and needs.
