Guides: Research Output Reporting: NTRO Research Statement

Research Statement Guidelines

There are two key stages in ensuring compliance of your NTRO. The Writing NTRO Research Statements guide offers more detailed perspective on each of these sections.

Please use this checklist to upload your research statement for consideration by the NTRO Steering Committee.

Research statement (2000 characters, including spaces and section headings) – note three distinct sections of the research statement:

Research background - Note: the research field, the current state of knowledge and the research problem and question.
Research contribution - Note: key finding(s), what is new, innovative, of interest to and applicable by other practitioners/researchers.
Research significance - Provide evidence of gatekeeping, at point of funding or distribution. Provide evidence of impact and/or esteem measures.

Note: references, should you wish to provide them, are not included in the 2000 character limit.

Documentation

Provide appropriate materials to enable the NTRO Steering Committee to determine the type, form, qualities and scale of what they are assessing. This may range from short audio recordings, images, catalogue excerpts, reports, excerpts, or for time-based work, edited video highlights (less than five minutes). Be succinct.
