Dear Community
Psychology UK,
I am writing to
let you know about a multi-centre project on
evidence-based policy that has been launched via the
Guardian by Cardiff University, the University of Exeter,
and University College London.
This project
aims to develop a new mechanism called the Evidence
Information Service (EIS) to facilitate rapid
communication between the political community and research
professionals in academia and industry.
In advance of
commencing this service the team are calling for Local
Champions; members of the public to interview their local
politicians about evidence use. The outcome of these
interviews will help determine the shape of the EIS. Since the initiative has been
launched there has been a really positive response but
many constituencies across the UK are yet to be
represented.
I am therefore contacting
science related societies to try to reach potential
Local Champions. If you could forward this email onto
your members or post this message on your website that
would be greatly appreciated.
If you would consider being a
Local Champion, please contact [log in to unmask] for
more information.
Many thanks,
Sinead Morrison
