Are you a policy maker or program manager who needs to use research findings in your work? 
If so, the Sax Institute’s upcoming training course could be for you.

In this 3.5 hour workshop, participants will gain:

• A greater understanding of different types of evidence from research
• Information to know where to access research evidence
• Experience using tools to critically appraise research to assess if it is high quality and relevant to your work

The two workshop presenters are Associate Professor Mary Haines, Senior Adviser at the Sax Institute and an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of Public Health, University of Sydney, and Dr Carmen Huckel Schneider, Adviser at the Sax Institute and Senior Lecturer and Director, Master of Health Policy at the Sydney School of Public Health, University of Sydney. Between them, Mary and Carmen have over 30 years’ experience in health policy and translational initiatives.

Research conducted with policy partners can have a greater chance of impacting on policies, programs and services.

But how do early career researchers build these partnerships? How do they manage and sustain them? And how do they get their research findings known and used?

Sax Institute are offering a new skills-based training course, launched in 2017, which has been developed to address these questions. It's a 3 day, face-to-face course, drawing on the expertise of senior policy makers and researchers to help early career researchers build the skills required to initiate and sustain research partnerships with policy makers.
