A university-wide implementation of I-RITE/I-SPEAK allows for a wide range of positive outcomes deriving from the instructional process and subsequent use in society:

RESEARCHERS use their I-RITE statements and I-SPEAK talks to:

• give academic job talks and industry seminar presentations
• give presentations in departmental research seminars
  
• write research and dissertation proposals and grant applications
  
• construct teaching portfolios
  
• extend knowledge of their research activities to colleagues at Stanford and beyond

DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH GROUPS AND LABORATORIES use program results to

• serve as a basis for discussions with related research teams at Stanford and beyond
• better disseminate their research

INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CENTERS use program results to

• summarize current research activity for brochures and websites
• foster multi-disciplinary connections and collaboration opportunities

DEPARTMENTS use program results to

• reach out to alumni with updates on department research
• form a basis for regular seminar presentations
• post I-RITE statements on their department website to promote interest among graduates
• recruit undergraduate students for participation in research projects

A UNIVERSITY AS A WHOLE use program results to:

• foster shared goals of investigation and discovery
• develop a wider "intellectual community" of students and faculty
• enhance teaching and learning throughout the University
• reach out to primary and secondary schools to share the wealth of its research knowledge
• help the wider community understand the significance of its research efforts
