'every effort made' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'student working with one on run' is the wordplay.
'working with' indicates an anagram (working with the letters).
'one'+'on'+'run'='oneonrun'
'student' anagrammed with 'oneonrun' gives 'NO STONE UNTURNED'.

'by' acts as a link.
