Researchfish is an external, online platform that allows researchers to report to funders on the outcomes and impact of their research. 

It’s an essential tool supporting the university’s research strategy and helps us demonstrate the value of more than £45bn of funding to universities from government, donors and stakeholders.  

For most funders, the 2024 submission window will open on Monday 5 February 2023 and closes at 4pm on Thursday 14 March 2024. 

Professor Tom Rodden, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Exchange, said: 

“In 2012, the University of Nottingham was the first research organisation to subscribe to Researchfish and demonstrating the range and depth of our partnerships with funders remains key to our vision for research at Nottingham. 

“I would like to thank colleagues for their continuing support and recognition that Researchfish provides an essential platform to demonstrate how investment in our world-class research links to impact that changes lives.” 

In 2023, the university increased its Researchfish compliance rate to 99.3%.You can create, edit, and attribute your outcome records in Researchfish at any time, and it’s good practice to keep them up-to-date so you are ready to submit the outcomes during the annual submission window.
