Investing in Research to Accelerate Development Solutions
The fact sheet and report provide an overview of ITR/R division's role within USAID and demonstrate that investments made in implementation research can yield impactful results.
As part of its support to USAID’s Research Division in the Innovation, Technology, and Research Hub (ITR/R) under RTAC, PRB developed materials to showcase the importance of investing in research to accelerate development solutions. RTAC facilitated interviews with senior ITR/R staff to determine the audience and purpose of two products to be used to amplify ITR/R’s work and results. In consultation with the Research Division, RTAC then designed and produced a fact sheet that serves as an entry point to ITR/R’s work for high level stakeholders. This fact sheet provides an overview of ITR/R’s role within USAID and a summary of the large portfolio of ITR/R programs that advance the use of research, demonstrating that investments made in implementation research can yield impactful results. The ITR/R report goes into more depth about the work and accomplishments of the division and targets high-level stakeholders within and beyond USAID.
