. But what are we learning about the emerging best practices for engaging researchers? From mentorship, to network building, from targeting funding to strengthening the pipeline of researchers, what are we learning about what works? And where should we increase our focus?

In this two-session, interactive event, individuals from a range of universities, research and policy institutions, and funding organizations are invited to share what they are learning about how to create greater opportunities for locally-grounded research to inform policy impact and scientific advancement.

We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them.
