Description This study aimed to understand how policy-makers and researchers in Australia experience collaboration and the impediments and enablers they encounter. An online survey was completed by 170 participants: 58% policy actors and 42% researchers. Respondents reported the primary purpose for collaboration was evidence-informed policy-making.
Introduction The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis has highlighted that policy action and collaborative decision making can occur rapidly across sectoral boundaries1 while reinforcing the need for evidence-informed policy.
Objectives and importance of study: For public policy to respond effectively to social, economic, and health challenges, there is an urgent need for research-policy collaboration to advance evidence-informed policy. Many organisations seek to promote these engagement activities, but little is known about how this is experienced by researchers and policy actors.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health, economic and social crisis that is likely to have lasting consequences, including increased rates of financial hardship, housing insecurity, mental health problems, substance abuse and domestic violence.
