Case study deep dive: what are the connections between how development research is conducted and the type of development impact achieved? This report will provide UK government departments, parliamentary committees, research funders and HEIs with information about the type of development research being undertaken in UK HEIs and the impact this research has. [...] This report presents: z A snapshot of international development research undertaken by UK HEIs in the REF2021 period (2013-2020); z An overview of the types of impact research has in LMICs and how this differs across disciplines and topics; and z A new framework of enablers for impactful international development research, and mechanisms for supporting them. [...] This focus on impact beyond academia makes the REF impact case studies dataset a unique resource to investigate the nature and scale of development impact achieved by research, allowing us to look at the societal benefit of UK research to development outcomes in LMICs and the global community. [...] In Colombia, the research reframed the debate around the role of the media and land restitution in the peace process. [...] While they both relate strongly to elements of engagement, collaboration, and partnership with a diverse group of relevant actors, the connectivity and networks type of impact scored the lowest and the transdisciplinarity research enabler the highest.
