What happens next?

Grantholders whose grants end between 1 October 2020 and 30 September 2021 will need to send us their report during Researchfish's next submission period.

This runs from 1 February 2021 to 11 March 2021, 17:00 GMT.

If this applies to you, we will email you in late 2020 to ask you to submit an end-of-grant report.

If you plan to ask for an extension to your grant that will take the end date past 30 September 2021, contact the Grants Adviser looking after your grant. If you don’t know who this is, contact us.

You can start compiling your report on Researchfish as soon as you receive your invitation email. However, you can only submit the report during the submission period.

If you miss the deadline, we won't accept any new grant applications until you submit your report.

Since February 2019, Wellcome has been asking most Science and Humanities & Social Science grantholders to use the Researchfish platform to report research outcomes at the end of their awards.

This replaces our current end-of-grant report, and captures research outputs such as publications, intellectual property and software tools, and other outcomes such as influence on policy.

The change follows on from our announcement in 2018 about the Wellcome Success Framework, which set out nine ambitions that express what success looks like across all Wellcome’s work.

The data from Researchfish will help us assess progress against these ambitions. It will be used at an aggregate level to gain a deeper understanding of what is being achieved through Wellcome grants and in partnership with others.

We won’t use it to assess the impact of individual grants, or to inform decisions about individual funding applications.

Collecting data in this way will also make it easier for research offices and researchers to record, review and share research outputs and outcomes from Wellcome grants.

What isn’t going to change

  • Final financial expenditure checks will remain for all grantholders, as part of our grant closure process.
  • Annual progress reporting will continue to run via Wellcome Trust Grant Tracker.
  • Public Engagement grantholders are not affected by this change, and will continue to use end-of-grant forms when their grant ends.
