A good impact statement illustrates change in at least one of the following areas. Our scientists have found that the paper absorbs moisture better, too. By using some of the 76 million tons of paper Americans throw away each year, researchers can reduce landfill demands, save a few trees and keep horses comfy all at once. So, we're setting them. Our scientists study the role of floor type and construction in chronic-use injuries that often make people stop exercising.
Computer models predict how a floor reacts to various forces or environmental changes.
Those predictions, and what doctors know about chronic athletic injuries, bring a prescription for safer exercise for athletes of all ages and abilities. Sometimes its very hard to define or quantify the impact of your project. This is especially true for basic research and work with youth and families, teaching and long-run efforts. If this describes your work, consider including potential impact. Tell us the most likely benefactors of the research or education project.
