Impact support

There are a number of people across the University providing support for impact and impact related activities.

Support for impact in the HRC

The HRC's Research Impact Managers are available to advise all academic staff in the Arts and Humanities on research impact.

• For funding applications - The HRC Research Support team can advise on the potential impact of your planned project and how to present this in applications to meet funder requirements.
• For ongoing research - If you would like advice on identifying, developing or capturing the impact of your research, contact Natalie at natalie.fullwood@york.ac.uk and Helen at helen.jones@york.ac.uk.
