Master of Science Communication Lucy McPherson, along with Dr Will Grant, are conducting a survey to gauge the experience of researchers who have worked with policymakers.

There have been several recent studies into how policymakers access evidence and work with researchers but there has been little research conducted from researcher’s perspective. 

Answers to their survey will then be used with other available studies to create strategies to improve the working relationships between researchers and policymakers.

The survey consists of nine questions regarding experiences working with policymakers and five demographic questions.

If you have worked with a policymaker in your capacity as a researcher, we strongly encourage you to fill out the survey here.
