“…We find that there is great potential in the collective knowledge of academics and practitioners to improve development practice and policy; however, it is necessary to critically reflect on our own and others’ practices (Haraway, 1988: 579). Each actor in research translation has a different position, understanding, and course of action, and therefore it is not possible to separate the production and application of knowledge (Ludwig et al, 2021).…”

Many research-to-practice approaches exist, yet fundamental differences in interpretation and uneven application of research translation approaches create a real challenge in generating research-driven solutions for development challenges. In this review, we aim to clarify the plethora of approaches to increase research uptake into international development practice and policy. Through a qualitative analysis of 93 articles, we identified four interrelated factors that differentiate research translation approaches. Building off the variation expressed across these factors, we propose a conceptual framework called the Research Translation Continuum. This framework illustrates the range of ways to produce useful evidence and the range of ways that academics and practitioners can collaborate. Our study makes a unique contribution by providing a conceptual framework for guiding research translation efforts in international development. We conclude that critical reflexive engagement is needed to situate, use, and produce evidence for development policy and practice.
