Jay Dominy, Public Affairs Manager at CLOSER, introduces CLOSER’s policy hub, a tool to help researchers with engagement and policy impact.
2024 is an important year for the research-policy landscape. With a UK General Election likely to be called later this year, it is now even more important for researchers to rcs data malaysia understand the complexities of the policy landscape and how to use their research to inform and shape public policy.
It’s crucial to ensure that researchers do not stop once the conclusion of their research paper is written. As UKRI’s strategy makes clear, publicly funded research must inform the development of policies that improve population health, prevent future illness, and tackle health inequalities.
Two common challenges arise here. First, engaging with policymaking can be difficult and complex, requiring a specific skillset. On top of this, researchers are time-poor, and therefore need tailored guidance and support to ease their learning curve in policy impact. As the organisation representing the UK’s world-leading longitudinal population studies, a key part of CLOSER’s mission is to ensure scientific evidence reaches and influences policymakers. As such, we are well placed to share our experiences and the lessons we have learned from mobilising academic research.
