If you would like to produce a short, easily digestible summary of your research, IPR can connect you to support from the Population Reference Bureau, a nonprofit research organization focused on population and health issues, and the Association of Population Centers. PRB and APC can help you transform peer-reviewed research on population dynamics, population health, or reproductive health into a format you can share with a broader audience,
The team offers a range of support from light-touch editing and publication of a research brief that you've written to writing/editing/publication of a brief based on your research. Specifically, PRB and APC staff can:
- Edit and publish a 1,000-word brief that you've written. (See these tips from PRB on writing a research brief.)
- Help you write a brief based on your key findings and assist in editing and publishing the brief.
- Help you promote your research or an OSU press release by sharing on social media, developing a social media campaign, and/or providing guidance on how to pitch a research-oriented story to journalists.
The purpose of these activities is to help you amplify your research results. Many of PRB's briefs have received thousands of page views and have been circulated widely on social media.
If you are interested in using these services, you can contact IPR Director Sarah Hayford for more information, or fill out this short form to connext directly with PRB. Publication of briefs is subject to resource availability and editorial review and decision.
