A new UK-wide research effort is building better ways to turn research into action. The ESRC funded project, Transforming Global Evidence, led by Queen’s University, Belfast, will help governments, businesses, and communities use the latest science to make faster, smarter policy decisions, including those that will support achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
One of the project’s key strands – the Methods Work Package – will focus on developing and enhancing the methods needed to create “living evidence syntheses” that stay up to date and deliver robust, broad scale and timely actionable insights. This team brings together leading experts from Aberdeen, Exeter, Newcastle, and UCL, combining strengths in qualitative and quantitative research, information retrieval, meta-analysis, implementation science and international policy engagement.
We are delighted that ACE's Dr. Kristin Konnyu, an implementation science and evidence synthesis methodologist, will lead Aberdeen’s contribution to the methods work package.
