Research for Impact: Conducting Small-Scale Research to Inform Policy

Individuals and nonprofits and community groups of all sizes can influence policy and make social change. This workshop focuses on the ability to conduct small-scale research to inform policy change that can help nonprofits take their policy and advocacy work forward.

In this workshop, we will be focusing on:

• Formulating clear research questions relevant to policy change.
• Introduction to basic research methods (e.g., stakeholder interviews, desk research, small surveys).
• Analyzing and presenting research findings in an accessible way.
• Translating research into actionable policy recommendations.
• Collaborating with academic institutions or larger research bodies
