Your research impact, on one page

If you are a researcher, you have probably heard this before:

“Can you give us one slide on your impact?”

Sounds simple.

Then you start gathering the evidence. Checking the numbers. Finding the right dates. Deciding what counts as delivered impact and what is still expected. And somehow, “one slide” becomes another job.

If you work in a research office, you know the problem too. You ask twenty researchers for the same information and get it back in twenty different formats. Then someone needs a page the board can understand in two minutes.

We feel you.

Every Professional report from ResearchImpact AI now includes a one-page impact summary. It appears directly after the cover and is also available as a separate image for slides, reports and presentations.

The page has four parts:

Summary: the challenge, the research, the impact delivered and the impact still expected.
Path to impact: the steps from funding to outcome, with dates.
Value delivered: the evidence, grouped by the type of change it shows.
Research impact at a glance: the key figures.

Built from your evidence

This is not an AI-generated image.

The page is built from the evidence already contained in your report and laid out to a fixed design.

AI’s role is small.

It helps select which facts to show and writes the short labels. It cannot create a figure of its own.

Every number and date comes from your report. The source is cited there. A grant shared by three investigators counts once, not three times.

The page also separates delivered impact from expected impact.

If a step has not happened yet, it is shown differently. A trial that is still recruiting, for example, appears with a dashed outline.

That matters. It lets you show what is coming next without presenting future impact as something already delivered.

One format across a portfolio

If you work in a research office, consistency matters just as much as the individual page.

The same four-part structure is used across every researcher’s report. That means a set of pages reads as one portfolio, rather than twenty home-made posters.

The one-page summary came out of our trials. Our trial partners tested it, challenged it and told us what worked.

Their feedback helped shape the final format.

The free trial includes one Professional report, so your first one-page impact summary is included.

Research offices that want the page adapted to their own framework and branding can also talk to us about a Custom Impact Programme.
