Sharing evidence about your research’s policy impact can be important for both internal audiences within your institution and external audiences such as research funders. When preparing your policy impact evidence reporting, think about who will read it and why they need the information. Adapt the presentation of your impact evidence to meet the specific needs of these audiences. This ensures that the information is not only relevant but also engaging and persuasive for the intended recipient.
