Are you looking to inform policymaking with your longitudinal research? Need some tips on how to get your findings on the agenda? CLOSER is launching a series of new policy surgeries where you can get personal advice and bespoke guidance.
Our team of policy experts work with policymakers and researchers to increase the visibility, use and impact of longitudinal population studies in the policy landscape.
Our new programme aims to help you do the same, through an ‘office hours’ style format.
These sessions are suitable and open to all longitudinal researchers at all stages of their careers.
How we can help you
Sign up to one of our free policy surgeries to ask our experts for specific advice and guidance on how and where to use your research in policymaking circles.
We can:
- Suggest consultations, inquiries, and other engagement opportunities relevant to your specific research.
- Provide feedback and advice on your existing policy engagement plans.
- Help you understand the broader political processes you are engaging with.
- Advise on which engagement channels are most likely to lead to material impact for you and your research.
