Are you an early career researcher looking to set yourself up for professional success? An established faculty member planning for tenure, promotion, or post-tenure review? The head of a lab, division, or other group of researchers wanting to better understand how to showcase their accomplishments?

We're back with year 3 of the Research Impact Challenge! Join us for 5 days of asynchronous activities to help you better understand and manage your online scholarly presence and the impact and reach of your research. The activities are presented as daily "challenges" running the week of August 18-22, 2025 that you might accomplish to boost and understand your impact. However, each day stands alone and can be completed separately. You should feel free to select the most relevant activities and meet them in any order you wish. 

The activities focus on your online scholarly presence, the various ways to measure the success and impact of your research, and strategies for expanding and enhancing your professional network and the reach of your scholarship. 

Please note that these activities were designed and written specifically for researchers at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. While most of them can be easily adapted for use elsewhere (and you are welcome and encouraged to do this!), some instructions are specific to a UTHSC environment or may refer to resources at the Health Sciences Library that are not universally available.

By registering for this asynchronous event you are consenting to receive daily emails August 18-22 from the UTHSC Health Sciences Library, which will contain information about that day's challenge.
