LASER PULSE

LASER PULSE helps identify research needs for critical development challenges by using a systems framework and collaborating with USAID missions, bureaus, and independent offices and other local stakeholders... LASER PULSE works directly with research teams and development actors to strengthen and sustain their capacity for development research and research translation, and thus contributes to the long term impact of the research project... LASER PULSE promotes a research translation model in which translation is embedded across all phases of the research project. The model is called Embedded Research Translation (ERT) and is defined as an iterative co-design process among academics, practitioners, and other stakeholders in which research is intentionally applied to a development challenge. Core to this approach are four pillars- partnership, process, product, and dissemination.
