Hosted by Program Officer Anupreet Sidhu and Vice President Kim DuMont on April 19, 2024, this webinar provides an overview of our research grants on improving the use of research evidence. Anu and Kim provide an overview of the program’s background and goals in addition to discussing eligibility details, required materials, and review criteria.
Research grants on the use of research evidence fund studies that reveal the strategies, mechanisms, or conditions for improving research use. We also encourage evaluations of deliberate efforts to increase routine and beneficial uses of research in decision-making and whether strategies that improve the use of research evidence in turn improve decision-making and youth outcomes. We are also interested in measurement studies to develop the tools necessary to capture changes in the nature and degree of research use. Finally, we welcome critical perspectives that inform studies’ research questions, methods, and interpretation of findings.
