It’s not easy to demonstrate research impact, says Katherine Andrews — even when there’s a clear clinical need, as in malaria drug development.
The past five years have seen a dramatic change in the academic research community, with funders increasingly requiring explicit evidence of research ‘impact’, in addition to conventional metrics such as a researcher’s previous publications, funding success and the quality of the journals they’ve published in.

The latter focuses on my career in Australia and Germany, and covers funding, publications, and teaching and mentorship roles. My Impact CV, by contrast, is where I gather evidence that I can use to build impact stories targeted to different audiences, including funders, promotion and award committees, donors and community members.
