Description

This tool addresses ways to coordinate efforts to support evidence-informed policy making, specifically linking research to action.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The tool guides users through five questions:

  1. What is the capacity of your organization to use research evidence to inform decision making?
  2. What strategies should be used to ensure collaboration between policy-makers, researchers and stakeholders?
  3. What strategies should be used to ensure the independence as well as the effective management of conflicts of interest?
  4. What strategies should be used to ensure the use of systematic and transparent methods for accessing, appraising and using research evidence?
  5. What strategies should be used to ensure adequate capacity to employ these methods?

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context. For more information on individual methods and tools included in the review, please consult the authors/developers of the original resources.
