Tools for Academic Engagement in Public Policy
As public policies become increasingly complex and technical in nature there is a clear need for scientifically informed solutions to major public policy challenges. However, most researchers do not have the training to effectively engage with policymakers.

Specifically, it will focus on:
Understanding the complex public policy ecosystem, its many stakeholders, and the role research and evidence play in the creation of public policy,
Strategies for informing the policymaking community with research results,
Developing a pitch for policy audiences, and
The importance of building two-way dialogues with policymakers
