This workshop is open to doctoral students, post-docs, research associates, and faculty. The interactive workshop will provide researchers and data scientists the opportunity to learn best practices for developing reciprocal relationships with civic intermediaries and policymakers. It aims to provide concrete tools to empower researchers to foster long-term, reciprocal relationships with policymakers. Skills taught in the training include: how to develop ongoing, reciprocal, trusting relationships with policymakers and civic intermediaries; how to assess policymakers' resources, needs, and opportunities; the timing of the policy-making process; how to make effective use of intermediary groups; how interaction with policymakers can help researchers determine better research questions; and how ongoing policy engagement can be a part of researchers' academic success.

Applications will be accepted until 8:00am EST Tuesday, February 13th. We will notify applicants of their admission status by Monday, February 19th.
 
Co-hosted by Duke Policy Bridge and organized by the Scholars Strategy Network (SSN), in partnership with the William T. Grant Foundation.
