There is an increasing interest in engaged research—collaborating with communities and drawing on multiple sources of knowledge in all aspects of the research process—to make academic research more relevant for and inclusive of policy, practice, and societal needs. To this end, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Standing Committee on Advancing Science Communication is hosting a virtual workshop focused on institutional barriers and incentives for engaged research at the intersection of science and society. The workshop will highlight representative models of engaged research that have been employed in different sectors (health, environment, etc.), including exploring the ways these models are designed to achieve specific goals, as well as the unique challenges involved. Additionally, the workshop will feature a discussion around barriers and opportunities for expanding and scaling these efforts through institutional-level incentives.
