Applications must articulate and demonstrate the impact of the original research beyond the academy, which may include an effect on, change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health and wellbeing, the environment, or quality of life beyond academia. Applications should provide evidence of the impact, and show clear linkages between the original research, the impact, and the specific contribution of the applicant/applicants.

In the application form, each applicant must explicitly detail their individual contribution to the research, any publication(s), the research impact, and each applicant must provide their academic curriculum vitae (CV). If awarded the Marles Medal, the award and prize will be shared equally across the team/collaborating members.

In the scenario of a dual nomination application for co-authored work/s, the co-author may have an honorary appointment to the University.
