How to report your project’s outcomes

Using Researchfish

Unless you’ve agreed to a different method, you must report your project outcomes and outputs in Researchfish.

You can find step-by-step instructions on how to use the platform in the Researchfish user guide.

By submitting your outcomes you acknowledge and agree to UKRI’s principles of use for research outcomes collected in Researchfish.

Reporting on more than one project

Any awards you are expected to report on will be clearly listed in tables in your Researchfish account. You must make sure that all records attributed to each project are up to date before submitting them.

Awards from more than one research council will be listed in separate tables. You must submit records for each listed award. If you have more than one you cannot choose to submit records for only some.

You can only submit your outcomes to one council at a time.

Projects funded by Innovate UK

There is a different way to report on your project if it is funded by Innovate UK. Contact your monitoring officer if you have any questions.

Public engagement award funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)

Read our guidance for recording the results of public engagement funded by STFC.

Linked award funded by STFC

Read our guidance for reporting outcomes for STFC funded large projects and linked awards.

Official Development Assistance projects

Read our guidance for reporting outcomes of Official Development Assistance Projects.

Projects funded under the Horizon Europe guarantee

If your project is part of either the European Research Council (ERC) or Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), the funding you received from UKRI is part of the UK’s Horizon Europe guarantee. There are different requirements for reporting these awards. Read the Researchfish reporting guidance for ERC and MSCA guarantee grants.
