This report provides a snapshot of international development research undertaken by UK HEIs in the REF2021 period (2013-2020). Based on the REF2021 definition of non-academic impact, it gives an overview of the types of impact research has in LMICs and globally and how this differs across disciplines and topics.
This booklet showcases ten case studies submitted to the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF2021). This booklet showcases ten case studies submitted to the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF2021). It highlights the impact of UK international development research by showing the connections between what type of real-life impact is achieved and how research is conducted.

To make best use of the expansive data in the COVID-19 Research Project Tracker, UKCDR & GloPID-R have produced a Living Mapping Review of COVID-19 funded research projects, which analyses globally funded COVID-19 related research.
As the COVID-19 global research funding response has hit a plateau, the Living Mapping Review (LMR) continues to provide valuable information for the international community of researchers and funders. The latest and sixth iteration of the LMR is the first to include an in-depth analysis of existing research into new COVID-19 variants.
Researchers and funders around the world rely on the COVID-19 Research Project Tracker and associated Living Mapping Review (LMR) to funnel resources where needs are greatest by tracking the latest COVID-19 research trends and gaps. For the first time, the LMR features an analysis of research projects on our Tracker mapped against the pillars and priorities outlined in the UN Research Roadmap for the COVID-19 Recovery.
A new briefing paper from the UK Collaborative on Development Research (UKCDR) shows how the UK can play a key partnership role in strengthening research systems in low- and middle-income countries to tackle global issues.
This briefing paper summarises UK-funded contributions to the research capacity strengthening landscape in low- and middle-income countries between 2016 and 2021, along with initial policy recommendations to UK funders.
In the 9-month update, researchers and funders around the world can tap into the latest trends and gaps for future COVID-19 research to funnel resources towards greatest research needs.
UK Collaborative on Development Research (UKCDR) has found that since 2015 the UK has invested over half a billion pounds on climate change and international development research, according to a much-anticipated report published today.
