Conducting High Impact Research, Morocco, September 26-27
On Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, 2009 MEASURE Evaluation is hosting two pre-conference workshops at the XXVI International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) International Population Conference in Marrakech, Morocco.
The workshops will address the following issues:
- How to identify program and/or policy relevant research topics.
- How to involve key decision makers in your research process.
- How to extract program and/or policy recommendations from your research findings.
- How to package and communicate research results to facilitate their use in decision making.
Pre-conference participants will practice specific approaches and techniques that can be applied at each phase of the research process to improve the applicability and use of their research results. Participants will learn from past examples of improving research impact worldwide and get hands-on experience using tools designed to facilitate this process.
Through a Data Demand and Information Use (DDIU) approach, MEASURE Evaluation promotes a continuous cycle of data demand, collection, analysis and utilization to improve population health conditions.
