Building Evidence for Scaling
Research conducted by Fiona Mwenda and Lydia Tanner at The Research People for the Response Innovation Lab.
The paper begins with a short discussion of what we mean by scaling and why it is not appropriate for every innovation to scale. The paper then outlines the different types of evidence that are important to different audiences, and some of the factors that innovators should consider in prioritizing evidence.

Research Ethics Tools

A useful tool is the Research Ethics Tool, created by ELHRA which can be used to ask relevant questions on ethical aspects of research programs. While this is not specific to innovation the questions are very relevant for humanitarian innovation programs.
