It’s preferable to think about impact at the beginning of a research project – this gives you the best chance of getting your research into the right hands to make a difference. However, the Canvas can be completed at any stage of the research journey. It’s never too late to think about impact. The Canvas can also be used to reflect on completed projects, helping you identify impacts that may have already occurred.
 
Completing the canvas shouldn’t take long – just 15 to 30 minutes.
