Designed by FHI 360, this tool is intended to guide discussions within a research team during the development of a study or project concept to facilitate research utilization. Specifically, the discussions prompted by this guide will help the team to: 1) develop and implement strategies to ensure future utilization or scale up of promising results, and 2) identify concrete research utilization milestones to be inserted into the study/project workplan. These discussions should begin during the concept development phase (prior to protocol development).
