Policy
These case studies highlight researchers’ interactions with government to inform public policy and services. Creative collaborations between the research community and Government are instrumental in tackling some of the most difficult questions faced by the UK and make a significant contribution to the UK’s economy, society and quality of life.
Professor Cathy Pharoah:
is from the ESRC Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy (CGAP). Stakeholder engagement with policy and practice is at the heart of the centre’s objectives and CGAP has worked hard to develop a national and international network of relationships. Part of the centre’s desired long term impact is to identify and to demonstrate to charities, big and small, how good research can benefit them
Professor Richard Aldrich:
at the University of Warwick led a project to analyse the public image of the CIA. He has engaged with a number of government and policy makers including the Cabinet Office, the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Office and the UK’s most secret intelligence agency, GCHQ. He also highlights the impact of developing the early career researchers working on the grant, one of which is now advising the International Spy Museum in Washington.
Professor Margot Brazier:
from the University of Manchester is co-director of the Centre for Social Ethics and Policy. She has been working as a co-investigator on a grant looking at the way in which the criminal justice system is used to resolved ethical conflicts in the delivery of healthcare. She credits involving the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), doctors, coroners and the police in every aspect of this project in the projects success and securing follow-on-funding.
Dr Mark Reed:
at the University of Aberdeen was one of the lead researchers in the Sustainable Uplands Project which aims to consider how to better anticipate, monitor and adapt to future environmental, social and economic changes in UK upland environments. The project has had an impact by identifying ways policymakers can effectively support adaptation, contributing to the development of a best practice guide for payment of ecosystem services by the Department for the Environment, Farming and Agriculture (Defra). In addition the research findings have also been used by water companies to justify investment in land management practices that reduce water treatment costs.
