Research-Policy Partnerships

About

As a researcher, you may have identified critical gaps in understanding and clinical care. Your work has culminated in potential solutions with the capacity to yield cost savings and enhance quality of life. Yet, how might policy makers respond to your findings? Have you considered the next step? Are policy makers going to implement your findings?

This Research-Policy Partnerships spotlight series provides the opportunity to learn from policy makers and influencers, researchers who have successfully influenced policy, and experts adept at crafting policy documents, who explain the reality of influencing policy and provide practical steps to orient your projects to making an impact.

The webinar recordings aim to demystify the research-policy interface and guide you in strategically aligning your projects for maximum influence.
