Some funders have removed the requirement for researchers to report on Awards & Recognition at present, including all subtypes, e.g.
- Research prize
- Medal
- Awarded honorary membership, or a fellowship, of a learned society
- Appointed as the editor/advisor to a journal or book series
- Poster/abstract prize
- Attracted visiting staff or user to your research group
- NIHR Senior Investigator/Clinical Excellence Award
- National honour e.g. Order of Chivalry, OBE
- Prestigious/honorary/advisory position to an external body
- Personal invitation as keynote or other named speaker to a conference
- Honorary Degree

This will reduce the reporting burden on researchers, enabling the time to be used to report on the remaining outcome types to stakeholders.

The Awards & Recognition section still shows in the Researchfish system as some funders do still wish to collect this information. A message will show if one or more of your funders have removed the requirement to report in this section; if you do not see this message, please continue to report all Awards & Recognition to your funders.

If researchers have previously reported Awards & Recognitions these are still available in the system to view/download, and also in the data made available to the funders/research organisations.

If you require more detailed explanation of what the reporting requirements are for specific funders and what the information is used for, please contact the relevant funder. Where funders have provided contact details to be shared, these can be found in the ‘Our community’ link in the left-hand menu.
