Competition for Researchers Demonstrating Research Impact

The School of Nursing & Midwifery is delighted to host the second iteration of our Research Impact Case Study Competition which encourages researchers to enter a case study demonstrating the impact of their research. 

Research Impact Case Studies provide the opportunity to communicate how your research is making a positive impact on healthcare and people’s lives. 

Prizes (research grants) will be awarded in the following categories: 

• €1,000 (PhD / Postdoc category)
• €1,000 (PI / Individual Researchers) 

The quality of entries to last year’s competition was very high and we were delighted to receive submissions from researchers across our School who are working on diverse and important projects. 

Encouraging researchers from across the School to participate, Prof Eilish Burke, Director of Research, said: "As researchers, it’s vital to think beyond the data and consider the real-world impact of our work. The School of Nursing and Midwifery's Research Impact Case Study competition is a fantastic opportunity to reflect on how your research influences practice, policy, and lives. Having won this competition myself, I’ve seen firsthand how it shines a spotlight on your research, opening doors to new collaborations and enhancing your visibility. I encourage everyone to seize this chance to highlight the meaningful difference your work makes." 

Winners of the competition last year included Dr Susan Hannon (postdoctoral category), Dr Eilish Burke (individual category) and the IDS-TILDA team (team category). Discover their case studies here.
