The research-policy gap “Researchers cannot understand why there is resistance to policy change despite clear and convincing evidence. Policymakers bemoan the inability of researchers to make their findings accessible and digestible in time for policy decisions.” Young, John (2004) “Research and policy: parallel universes?” ODI Opinions 14. Overseas Development Institute.

Policy Briefs & Research Summaries Both valued by policy-makers but serve different purposes Clear, well-written, engaging & QUICK! 1 page research summaries – sums up the approach & the main findings What is the research all about? 2 page policy briefs – more space for pulling out policy relevant implications What am I going to do differently on Monday morning?

A Policy Brief… Explains and conveys the relevance and/or urgency of an issue Presents policy implications around the issue Gives evidence to support the reasoning behind the implications Points the reader to additional resources on the issues Avoids making recommendations unless you really know what your audience needs (which most academics don’t!) From Developmental Leadership Programme Style Guide –

Suggested Process – Research Summaries Output author produces draft research summary based on simple guidance we’ll produce GSDRC edits this, puts it in the right format for publishing (ensuring ‘common voice’) & sends to the author for approval Once approved, it will be published on the ANTICORRP website & through other communication channels

Suggested Process – Policy Briefs WP leaders identify outputs/clusters of outputs with clear policy implications GSDRC receives author’s draft with identified implications (using our guidance note) & uses these and the research summary to produce draft for approval Steps 2 & 3 as above
