2022: Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) “Impact Innovations” Award
I received an international award for my work on impact literacy. ARIS is a US based organisation working with US and international scientists and engagement practitioners to build capacity, advance scholarship, grow partnerships and provide resources to help them engage with and demonstrate the impact of research within their communities and society. ARIS Awards recognize researchers and practitioners undertaking exemplary work in the societal impact of research and higher education, with nominations judged on four criteria:
- Commitment to ensuring that research benefits society;
- Alignment with the goals of NSFs broader impacts criterion or with other definitions/frameworks for societal impact of research.
- Evidence of impact (quantitative or qualitative) in the work of the nominee(s).
- Advancement in raising awareness about, growing, and sustaining the consideration of and attention to societal impacts in conducting research, and in translating discoveries
The “Impact Innovations” category recognizes recipients for demonstrated leadership in the development and scaling of new policies, processes, and tactics for achieving societal impact, including innovative approaches to engagement, translation, measurement, and other strategic areas.
Presented at the 2022 ARIS summit (May 24th 2022), the award citation states:
“Dr Bayley is an internationally renowned expert in research impact who has been making significant contributions to the field. While most of her work is in the United Kingdom it has been taken up and implemented around the world. She has developed and continues to refine the innovative concept and associated tools of Research Impact Literacy. Impact Literacy helps researchers and impact practitioners understand how to create impact, assess what impacts have occurred, and develops the skills needed by the people who catalyze impact. Impact Literacy is an innovation that is being further developed in the Lincoln Impact Literacy Institute through Bayley’s scholarship and practice.“
2015: Association of Research Managers and Administrators Impact award
In 2015 I was delighted to win the inaugural ARMA Research Impact award. Nominated by both Coventry University and Northumbria University, the Judge’s citation notes my contribution to impact capacity building within Coventry and across the sector.
