This course is for students, researchers, and faculty who want their research and their expertise to have an impact on public policy. By the end of the course you will have:
- a basic understanding of the role of research and evidence within the public policy environment, with a focus on the US Federal Government;
- the ability to identify and prioritize the public policy stakeholders relevant to your research areas; and
- strategies for engaging with policymakers with your research and expertise. 

You will have opportunities to receive feedback from your peers and the instructors after completing two activites in the course: creating a policy ecosystem map to help you determine with whom and when to engage, and creating a policy recommendation document that you could use when interacting with policymakers. 

This course is modeled off the MIT Policy Lab MITx Course: "Tools for Academic Engagement  in Public Policy"

Instructor: Dr. Drew Story, Managing Director of the MIT Policy Lab
