The Representing Research Impacts (RRI) competition is designed to encourage SIUE scholars to communicate to the public the results and impacts of their research and creative activities.

The product can be any public facing representation of the scholar/artist/researcher’s research including photo, drawing, painting, collage, sound recording, digital data visualization, diagram, recorded piece of performance art, and so forth.  Scholars can create the product individually or on a team.  The intention is to create a publicly accessible and engaging representation of one’s research impacts. Successful products will engage and educate an interested audience that is not professionally trained in your research field.

Research and creative activities are broadly defined as all creative, critical, scholarly, and/or empirical activity that expands, clarifies, reorganizes or develops knowledge or artistic perception. This definition includes the theorization, demonstration, implementation, and application of research.

All entries must be submitted by 4:30pm the first Business Day of October via the Kuali Build application form.

This competition is open to SIUE faculty, staff, and graduate students who are currently involved in a research project or creative activity at SIUE.  All qualified entrants are encouraged to apply, including minoritized people, women, persons with disabilities, and protected veterans.

An award in the amount of $1500 will be made for the best representation of research impact to be used toward scholarly activities at SIUE or professional development.

Awarded collaborative applications will split the monetary award amount evenly.

The awarded submission as well as other competition entries may be featured in an issue of Research and Creative Activities magazine or on SIUE’s website.
