Facing limited resources, how can global development researchers and their partners do more with less?

We hosted an interactive workshop with Stanford Impact Labs (SIL) focused on designing research for impact in resource-constrained environments. Attendees brought their your own pressing societal problem to discuss, and Stanford Impact Labs’ Sarah Hopwood and Alex Carr led the group through practical frameworks for understanding partner constraints, identifying opportunities, and mapping a pathway from research insight to real-world impact.
