What do our impact statements look like?
Our impact statements are two-page summaries of Hatch Multistate research projects activities and their impacts on knowledge, behavior, or social, economic, or environmental conditions.
​
Our impact statements use plain language, bold layouts, photos, illustrations, icons, and other visuals.
​
Each impact statement includes information about project funding and a list of participating universities.
How do we write our impact statements?
​
Each impact statement is based on the information in that project's annual reports, which are available in the NIMSS database.
An impact statement is typically developed at the end of a project's five-year funding cycle.
​
Each impact statement is reviewed by the participating project members to ensure it is an accurate overview of the projects and its impacts.
