The William T. Grant Foundation is interested in funding research to conceptualize what it means to use research well and how to empirically study quality of research evidence use. Hosted by the William T. Grant Foundation and Forum for Youth Investment, this webinar, What Does It Mean to Use Research Evidence Well in Policy and Practice?, has been organized by members of the Quality of Research Use special interest group sponsored by the Foundation and co-led by Tom Mackie and Chris Sheldrick. The purpose of this interactive session is to build shared understandings into what it means to use research well.

Three panelists will briefly present three case studies that help conceptualize what it means to use research well and identify dimensions of research use, as well as potential differences between disciplines in which dimensions of quality research use are most valued. Participants will explore these case examples of what they consider to be an example of “high quality” research evidence use. After the session, discussion points will be summarized and disseminated to help inform further dialog about quality evidence use.
