MRC believes that impact needs to consider the whole life cycle of the research process from ideas initiation, through delivery, post completion activity and beyond. Impact is much more relevant in the current situation for any research activity, we have a comprehensive view of impact and encourage research that supports education that contributes to the body of knowledge, that benefits society or the environment, that improves patient care, or that contributes to economic development.
Every research study has the potential for impact within and beyond the institution. Through our research we intend to contribute to society and improve the lives of people across the world, from enhancing global health care performance to improving the delivery of public services and health and wellbeing.
