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?
During this spotlight series on Research-Policy Partnerships you will learn from policy makers and influencers, researchers who have successfully influenced policy, and experts adept at crafting policy documents, who will explain the reality of influencing policy and provide practical steps you can take to orient your projects to making an impact. This series aims to demystify the research-policy interface and guide you in strategically aligning your projects for maximum influence.

This week will provides examples of how successful advocacy has led to changes in government policy and funding success. And how is the best way to advocate with government – likely researchers are not the front people.
