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.
