Overview

The NHMRC defines research impact as "the verifiable outcomes that research makes to knowledge, health, the economy and/or society, and not the prospective or anticipated effects of the research" . And further as "the effect of the research after it has been adopted, adapted for use, or used to inform further research. Research impact also includes research that leads to a decision not to use a particular diagnostic, treatment or health policy." (NHMRC: Research Impact Position Statement, 2022)
