abstract = {{This chapter focuses on one often overlooked outcome of behavioral research: its potential to guide policymakers and local actors in designing projects with real-world impact. Research impact is not only of interest to funding agencies and university hiring committees. It is also a sincere concern for many researchers, but we often lack the tools to effectively interact with policymakers. In this chapter we provide researchers with a general understanding of the policy world, provide examples of real-world interventions, and outline pathways by which researchers working in education, psychology, and anthropology can influence real-world outcomes. Much charitable action focuses on children, and research on children{\textquoteright}s learning across cultures can provide important avenues to make this action more culturally appropriate, effective, and ultimately beneficial to children across the globe.}},
