Hello members
Many research findings do not have direct impact on the society. Researchers do not also effectively communicate with policy makers or decision makers and there is a need to bridge that gap between policy makers/public and researchers.
I would like you to kindly share your ideas and experience in engaging with policy makers or the public. What are the challenges you faced doing this?
I found this blog post useful, it provides tips on communicating research to policymakers and the public.

Dear Doherty,
In my country’s context (Cambodia), research projects and teams should engage from the first place with policymakers and include some of gov’t officials into the projects since the first stage of project/research proposal development. From the highest to the lowest level of gov’t structure, we, as researchers, should involve them so that our projects/research can be smoothly implemented along the way and the findings will have direct impact on the society and may influence the policymakers.

Hello Funmilayo,
In practical experiences, for instance, if your research is about MCH, there are a few key stakeholders that your team needs to engage from the very first stage:
Of note, there are some research topics which are politically sensitive and are restricted by MOH. In this case, your proposal will not be approved by NECHR and you cannot do your research activities.
We should prepare the research topics which will response to the country’s needs and MOH’s priority areas/problems.
Thus, if you failed to engage those key stakeholders from the beginning, it’s very unlikely that your research will be successful – either your proposal will be approved or your findings will be useful for the relevant national programs in this country.
Thanks.
