Abstract
Successfully scaling impact requires reflection on the four guiding principles: justification, optimal scale, coordination, and dynamic evaluation. Pathways to impact are winding, systems are complex, and scaling involves a multiplicity of actors. This playbook presents an evidence-based and action-oriented guide for approaching the challenges of scaling for impact. Its aim is to assist researchers in integrating scaling into research. Scaling means understanding how to position research results so that the solutions generated reach the people who can use them, and in a way they can endorse.
