To help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and to align with a university decision to suspend in-person classes until March 30, our upcoming Crane Research Workshop: Tips for researchers seeking to be more policy-relevant, will be postponed. We plan to offer this workshop again in the future and will send out new information at that time. Thank you for your understanding and for your interest in our offerings!

By nature, researchers and policy makers face very different incentives, timeframes, constraints, and priorities. For any researcher or person driven by evidence and data, it can be hard to know how to engage in the policy-making process. This two-hour workshop will outline:

1. the basics of policy deliberation and change,
2. how policy makers interpret evidence,
3. how to recognize windows of opportunity, and
4. how the media and other intermediaries fit into this landscape.

Participants will discuss and have time to plan/personalize goals related to writing for and engaging a policy audience. This session will also emphasize the necessary communications skills to frame your argument in terms that policy makers (and their constituents) care about.

Please join this free session, led by Jamie O’Leary, Associate Director of Policy, who has worked in education policy and advocacy in Ohio for over a decade. Jamie leads the Crane Center’s policy-related efforts and is passionate about helping more great research get into the hands of decision makers and educate influencers.

Event has been postponed. Keep an eye out for the new date.

Open to all, the Crane Research Workshops are free of charge and include coffee and donuts. There is also free parking in the child drop off spaces, spaces that face 7th Ave., and also parking on Fourth St.
