Research to Impact: Bridging the Last Mile

Why Findings Stall

Great studies die in PDFs. The bridge to impact is translation—briefs for decision-makers, infographics for communities, and scripts for facilitators.

My Translation Toolkit

• One-page briefs with three decisions.
• Learning huddles with program teams.
• Community cards that distill key actions.
• Feedback loops to track whether anything changed.

Closing

Evidence is an invitation to act. If no action follows, we produced information, not impact.
