This presentation describes how to synthesize research into succinct policy briefs that convey key findings effectively. I offer examples to employ a distillation process on rich research information to identify and communicate summarized points in a visually appealing way with intent to engage and inform legislators, policymakers, and key stakeholders.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn how to transform in-depth research into succinct policy briefs that communicate key findings, concepts, and actionable items concepts effectively and efficiently.
  2. Discuss examples of visually appealing policy briefs which use intentional and attention-grabbing formatting that encourages and increases readership.
  3. Identify target audience (e.g. policymakers, legislators, stakeholders) and develop a plan for distribution, outreach, and engagement of participants’ own policy briefs
