On Monday, July 17, 2023, the Digital Health Equity + Implementation Science Workgroup at Northwestern University hosted a virtual workshop led by the Scholars Strategy Network and sponsored by the Implementation Science Coordination Initiative (ISCI).
The Connecting and Building Relationships with Policymakers Workshop gave an introduction to when and how policymakers use research, and how researchers can increase the likelihood their work is used in the policymaking process. It also gave participants evidence-based instructions for how to begin and maintain productive relationships with policymakers, how to engage with civic intermediaries in order to better reach policymakers, and what strategies are critical for creating mutual trust.
The recording has been made available to the ISCI and EHE network and will be available for viewing until January 26, 2024.
