our_process
Our process begins with understanding funder needs and identifying the right research questions, and ends with disseminating evidence that can be used for decision making.
Consortium-led research projects engage funding partners, decision makers, and knowledge users, and also produce evidence from a trusted, independent, academic source. This is achieved through the following process and rules of engagement:
