When worlds collide: the role of the funder in connecting research and policy

Melanie Knetsch and Lauren Tuckerman

Chapter 9 in How to Engage Policy Makers with Your Research, 2022, pp 94-102 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Academic funding bodies are increasingly focussed on supporting and evidencing the ways in which academic knowledge, skills and methods can achieve real world change. Publicly funded institutions such as the Economic and Social Research Council: UK Research and Innovation (ESRC:UKRI) need to ensure that the money invested in research, data infrastructure, skills, method development and innovation has real world impact. This chapter outlines the role the funder can have in enabling and supporting research impact with policymakers. The key lessons included at the end focus on the ways in which funders can act to support and enable research impact in the policy landscape.
