This article discusses the theoretical context of the measurement of research impact within thinking on research dissemination and utilisation. Then, using their experience in a university-based research centre in Ireland, the authors discuss six propositions for successful research impact measurement and illustrate their application in a case study of research on services for people with learning disabilities. The article concludes by examining the implications for research centres in building partnerships with policy and practice communities.
