Summary:

Research Impact is a 3 year modular programme of research and development for the learning and skills sector. It aims to develop the connections between research evidence and its use by practitioners, policymakers and intermediaries. It will investigate ways in which the presentation of research evidence might be developed and also ways in which users of research might engage more effectively with it. Members of each community will be directly involved in the process.
