Research Matters

We’re building a collective showcase of research impact across ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥—featuring students, faculty, staff and alumni.

Share why ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ research matters. Submissions may be featured on our website, in social media or across university communications. Whether you're in the lab, the classroom or the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥, your voice will help spread the word about the meaningful impact of research. 

Contribute to the Research Matters campaign

We invite you to submit a response—a short quote, accompanying photo(s) or a self-recorded video—with the following prompts in mind:  

  • Why does research matter to you? 
  • How has research impacted your ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥?  

Submission Guidelines

We encourage you to add photos and/or a self-recorded video to your submission, which can be completed by clicking on the Sharepoint link on the form confirmation screen. Read below for guidelines for these assets.  

Submitting photos

Including a photo is optional—but encouraged! Please keep these tips in mind:

  • Avoid filters or overly edited images
  • Show yourself in a setting connected to your research if possible (e.g., lab, library, etc)
  • You can also upload a headshot or image of your research in action (e.g., experiment, data visualization, etc)

Submitting video

Including video is optional—but can be a compelling way to share your perspective! Here are a few tips to keep it simple:

  • Film vertically (phone upright)
  • Keep it under 1 minute (20 to 30 seconds is ideal) with a clear, punchy message
  • Find a quiet spot and speak to the camera like you're chatting with a colleague—no need to script it.

We recommend starting the video with "Hi, my name is ___ and I work in ___" or "Hi, my name is ___ and I study ___". Then, share your answers to the prompts in your own words.
