Funding to house, grow and sustain the URE Repository

The William T Grant Foundation has agreed funding for Transforming Evidence to work in partnership with London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, King’s College London and Overton to undertake a programme of work to house, grow and sustain the use of research evidence (URE) Repository.

The goals of this two year project are:

1. Improve the methods and measures used in studies on the use of research evidence to better youth outcomes, including underscoring multiple methods for assessing research use and the need to triangulate and move beyond reliance on self-report alone.
2. Increase the transparency of methods used to study and describe research use (and hopefully the consistency of concepts and measures across studies).
3. Legitimize use of research evidence as a worthy and rigorous of study.
4. Link to or communicate lessons about what is being learned.
