Research into PolicyMuch research for older people and those with a disability has a close link to Government policy. For some research projects, engaging with policy makers is necessary to enable the outputs of the work to create impact. It's also often necessary to engage with policy to ensure that the research outcomes are relevant to current practice when a project disseminates its findings.
