NCRM Impact Prize
The NCRM Impact Prize recognises the impacts of researchers who have participated in NCRM training, used our resources or taken part in one of our initiatives or events. Through this award, we aim to support researchers in their development, highlight their successes and demonstrate how NCRM is making a difference to the research community.
The prize is open to anyone who has taken part in NCRM activities, including learners, trainers or participants, and anyone who has used or created our resources. The first NCRM Impact Prize was awarded in 2023. The second prize was launched in 2024 as part of a series of celebratory initiatives that are marking 20 years of NCRM.
