  • Understanding why and what works best when influencing policy lies at the heart of the RAPID programme. Our research and experience suggests that research often has very little influence over policy decisions, but the effects it can have on the outcomes of policies are significant. This area of work aims to develop RAPID’s understanding of existing contexts by unpacking the reasons behind these roles which will in turn assist policy entrepreneurs in making more strategic choices.
    We seek to inform both the way RAPID supports policy entrepreneurs and at the same time design our own research-based influencing strategies.
