Stakeholder Group: Academia

Dear Hub members,

Here is an invitation for you to participate in a survey that might be of interest:

Nora Anton, PhD candidate at Charité, would like to invite you to participate in her doctoral research about the policy engagement of global health researchers at German universities and non-university research institutes.
About the Study: This survey examines how academic global health researchers engage in policy advice work, exploring what motivates them, what enables or constrains their engagement, and how their involvement translates into perceived outcomes. By understanding researchers' experiences and perspectives on research-policy collaboration, we aim to identify opportunities and barriers that could strengthen these critical relationships.

Your Participation: As a researcher affiliated with a German public research institution who identifies as working in global health, your insights are invaluable to this study. Participation involves completing an online survey that will take approximately 25 minutes of your time. The survey includes questions about:
• Your policy engagement activities
• The motivations, capabilities and opportunities of your policy engagement
• Your perspectives on the science-policy interface

Your Privacy: Your participation is entirely voluntary, and all responses will be collected anonymously. The data will be analyzed in aggregated form, ensuring that no individual participant can be identified in any reports or publications resulting from this research.

How to Participate: To take part in this study, please click on the following link or copy it into your browser:  https://survey.charite.de/policy-advice-global-health/
The survey will be available until April 30th.
