for practice
Significance is the degree to which the impact has enriched, influence, informed or changed policies, practices, products, opportunities or perceptions of individuals, communities or organisations
Reach is the extent and diversity of the communities, environments, individuals, organisations or any other beneficiaries that may have been impacted by the research
(HEFCE)
Evaluating ImpactEvaluating Impact
How will your research deliver significant, far-reaching, measurable benefits for economic growth and welfare that are urgently needed in a DAC list country?
Evaluating ImpactODA is impact with a purpose
“…aims to promote the welfare and economic development of a country or countries on the Development Assistance Country (DAC) list of ODA recipients”
Evaluating ImpactODA
5 WAYS to Fast Track your Research Impact
How to write a fundable GCRF proposal
£1.5B for ODA compliant research in DAC list countries delivered by RCUK, Academies, HEFCE & Space Agency
Evaluating ImpactGCRF
“Cutting-edge research that addresses the challenges faced by developing countries”
1. Deliver internationally excellent research2. Effectively address a specific, evidenced
development need in a DAC country that will deliver economic growth and wellbeing (note: revisited every 3 years)
3. Identify appropriate pathways to impact
Evaluating Impact3 key elements of a GCRF proposal
No different to any other RCUK call Demonstrate why your research is exciting,
cutting-edge, novel and significant Balance between disciplines
If demanded in call for proposals Otherwise can be flexible
Evaluating ImpactResearch excellence
Evaluating Impact7 pathways to ODA compliance
1. Benefit disadvantaged, impoverished populations and major development issues in DAC list countries
2. Explain how many people are affected by the issues the project will address (or how you will scale the benefits) but don’t over-extrapolate
3. Sum up in title, summary and objectives to make it through sift stage
Evaluating Impact7 pathways to ODA compliance
4. Build capacity for research/development with in-country partners e.g. via collaboration and/or training
5. Build on existing research and development work in country and add value to global efforts
6. Demonstrate in-country partnerships based on prior/preparatory work
7. Co-create solutions rather than imposing

Evaluating ImpactTypes of engagement
(Reed et al., in press)
Evaluating ImpactWhat makes engagement work?
1. Understand and adapt to context2. Engage early to develop shared goals
and co-produce jointly owned outcomes3. Actively manage power dynamics4. Match the length and frequency of
engagement to your goals5. Represent interests and decision-
makers relevant to the spatial scale of the issue
