CBR 301 Delivering on the Promise: Using Community-Based Research to Affect
Public Policy

Tired of seeing your research reports sitting on a shelf?  A fundamental
principle of community-based research is ensuring that action outcomes
emerge as a result of research.  The ‘gold standard’ outcome for CBR
projects is to affect public policy.

So, how do I go from research to affecting public policy.....

Participants Will Learn:
• translating completed research into social change
• strategies and tactics for the use of research as a tool for advocacy
• impacting public sector decision makers
• incorporating learning into future research design

Who Should Attend:
• funders of community-based research
• community members, researchers, practitioners and others involved in
community-based research
• those involved in capacity-building and community development
• policy makers
