Background:
Contemporary research now includes effort to generate impact beyond the creation of new knowledge.
Methods:
This report provides an illustrative case study of tactful research planning and dissemination for impact and provides an emerging pathway for others to holistically track reach, spread and uptake, to create a nuanced impact narrative.
Results:
Nutrition Competence Tool (NutComp) is a validated tool that assesses the self-perceived competence of health professionals in providing nutrition care. Since open-access publication in 2015, it has been used by researchers and health professionals in 28 countries across 6 continents. The reach, spread, uptake and impact of NutComp are summarised, including indicators to support impact tracking for knowledge.
Conclusion:
Given the complex phenomenon of research impact, careful planning is required to capture and attribute research impact.
