What is the Lab?
-
How can we effectively communicate research evidence to policymakers?
-
What types of academic research are policymakers most interested in?
-
What tools can help with difficult policy decisions and the use of evidence in policymaking?
The Policymakers Lab is hosted by Mattie Toma at the University of Warwick. You may contact Mattie and the rest of the the Policy Makers Lab Team at PolicymakersLab@wbs.ac.uk.
If you are interested in participating, please click the "Sign Up Now" button below to complete an onboarding survey, which should take no more than 5 minutes of your time.
Am I eligible to participate?
Do you work, or did you formally work, in a role involving policymaking, regulatory, or legislative responsibilities, including but not limited to civil service and political roles in central government? If so, you are eligible, regardless of the particular policy area in which you work!
Will you respect my time?
All surveys administered in the Lab are reviewed beforehand, to ensure that they i) are relevant to policymaker decision-making, ii) do not place an undue burden on your time (e.g. take more than 15 minutes to complete), and iii) are developed by academics. All research projects run through the Lab will require ethical approvals.
Are my answers confidential?
Yes, your data will be protected, and your individual responses will never be shared without your permission
