The value of research evidence for policy

David Christian Rose and Chris Tyler

Chapter 3 in How to Engage Policy Makers with Your Research, 2022, pp 28-37 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores the value of research evidence to policy-makers and makes a number of suggestions to researchers about how to engage productively with them. It draws on a study of research use in the UK Parliament and four initiatives (The Conservation Evidence Initiative, The Centre for Science and Policy in Cambridge Policy Fellows Scheme, The International Public Policy Observatory and The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology Fellowships) to bring research and policy together. It starts by outlining why policy-makers want to use research evidence to make decisions and then goes into top tips on how researchers can improve the changes that their research evidence is used by policy makers.
