Foster collaboration among researchers, policymakers, industry stakeholders, and community members. This includes building partnerships and collaborations for joint research projects and adopting research findings into practical applications. Methods include forum posts and a matchmaking section to connect members.
Policy Impact and Advocacy:
Translate research findings into actionable recommendations and advocate for evidence-based policy changes. This will involve researchers' blog posts to raise awareness and attention, policy briefings to inform and influence policymakers, and policy dialogues and roundtables to facilitate policy processes.
