Research briefings

[Tanya O'Garra]

Hey Renzo and Claire,

I'm just checking in about the research briefings. Have you two had a chance to chat and agree on how to proceed? I'm thinking we should be emailing the listerv @Impact Evaluation Working Group this week to ask for suggestions and let people know we planning the next RB for mid December. 

Are you able to do this? @Renzo Giudice do you have the template email?

I will email the listserv today to introduce the new board members and can provide a heads up about your forthcoming email. 

Best wishes,

Tanya

Hi Tanya,

Renzo is just travelling back from Peru yesterday/today, and we were going to organise a chat when he gets back.

I was also thinking that mid december would be a good time to send it out, so that it arrives before the holidays. 

I found the template and adapted it a little, and can send it out through the listserv by the end of the week:

Dear Counterfactual Community,

The next addition of the bi-annual Impact Evaluation Research Brief is only one month away, and wanted to ensure we aren’t leaving out any important publications.

If you have read or published any good papers on impact evaluation in the past 6 months, could you please share them with us so we can compile them into an easily accessible resource? 

Specifically, we are looking for papers that, i) advance our understanding about how to design, implement and analyze robust counterfactual evaluations in conservation, ii) highlight novel data sources, methods, and approaches to counterfactual evaluation in conservation, or iii) present well-executed applied studies identifying the impacts of conservation interventions.

To share, please email claireloui...@uniroma1.it  with the following information:

• Title of Paper
• Link to Paper, or DOI
• Sentence or 2 about what you particularly like about the article - this is the crucial information we are looking for! We want your insights about why this paper is interesting.
• Your Name (optional – please include if you would like your suggestion attributed to you)

We look forward to sharing the first of our Research Briefings with you in December!

Cheers,

Claire

Dear Tanya and Clair, I am still on transit in Amsterdam after 13 hours of flight from Lima. The aircraft that would have taken us to Frankfurt had a technical problem. I still do not know at what time or if I will arrive today at home.

I will take care of the email tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience!

Best regards

Renzo
