NRF Framework to Advance the Societal and Knowledge Impact of Research

In line with NRF Vision 2030, which is grounded on Transformation, Impact Excellence and Sustainability (TIES), the NRF has developed a Framework to Advance the Societal and Knowledge Impact of Research. This Framework outlines how the NRF, through its core mandate areas, can best advance the impact of research. For this purpose, i) a context-relevant definition of impact is provided; ii) high-level impact pathways are outlined within the NRF’s areas of control, influence and interest; and iii) types of assessment are explored at a conceptual level.

The Framework will be supplemented by implementation and assessment guidelines across the various operational areas of the NRF.
