Reporting your project’s outcomes

Contents

Overview

The next submission period is from 2 February 2026 until 4pm on 12 March 2026.

Reporting project outcomes is a process during which funding recipients tell UKRI how their project is going. This happens using a platform called Researchfish.

If you are the lead researcher associated with a research grant or fellowship from UKRI, we will ask you to provide an annual update on your project’s outcomes. It’s usually part of the terms and conditions of your award, unless you have an exemption.

You can only submit your report once per year, during the submission period. However, you can update your outcomes all year round, and we encourage you to do so.

If you do not report, your funding may be withdrawn.

Research outcomes are made publicly available for the purposes of transparency and knowledge-sharing on UKRI’s Gateway to Research.
