Transforming Research into Real-World Impact
At ARC NWC we understand that research is only as valuable as the change it inspires. That’s why we focus on two interconnected areas: knowledge mobilisation and research impact. With support from NIHR and from the, University of Liverpool we have created resources to help researchers bridge the gap between their work and the policies, practices, and communities it can transform.
Through our evidence-based Knowledge Mobilisation and Impact (KM&I) Framework, we empower research teams to:
1. Plan and implement activities that turn knowledge into action.
2. Track, measure, and showcase the impact of their work.
3. Reflect critically on successes and challenges to continuously improve.
Why Choose the KM&I Framework?
Developed in an applied life sciences setting and refined for applied health research, the KM&I Framework takes a structured, building-block approach to planning and evaluating impact. It’s a practical, adaptable tool that helps you:
• Maximise opportunities for knowledge exchange.
• Accelerate the translation of evidence into policy or practice.
• Meet funder requirements for impact and strengthen your case for future funding.
Whether you’re looking to write compelling case studies, improve grant applications, or explore the broader societal effects of your research, the KM&I Framework is designed to guide you every step of the way.
Working Together to Enhance Your Research Impact
Our resources include presentations, templates, videos and games – we invite you to explore how the KM&I Framework can support your work and help you drive meaningful change in your field.
