To better assess our grantmaking, we needed to determine whether our projects have had an impact both inside & outside of academic circles. Our new paper explores how narrative storytelling allowed us to understand different dimensions of research impact. academic.oup.com/icesjms/advanc…

We've partnered with @OMBPress to launch the Evidence Forums — a series of events co-hosted with non-profits & academic institutions to strengthen evidence-based approaches to policy & practice. Check out the readout of our kick-off event with @Pewtrusts. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

As part of the #YearOfEvidence, we will be kicking-off The Evidence Forum series with @PewTrusts and @OMBPress on June 30th. Join us for this dynamic conversation about inclusive stakeholder engagement in equity-centered evidence-based policy-making: web.cvent.com/event/57747c4b…

I enjoyed this article from Louise Lief (@sciandmedia) about community-led science. Efforts like these can help make science more democratic and encourage greater public engagement in conversations that affect their communities. ow.ly/iXgj50Hn5v2

Reflecting on a great 2021 and excited to see what 2022 holds! It was a great year for the @PewTrusts #EvidenceProject! This past year, we had many wonderful conversations about transforming how evidence is generated, mobilized, and used (1/7)
