How to Commission Rapid Evidence Assessments for Policy [1] [] Date: 2023-10 Do you face an urgent policy decision and need a quick overview of research to boost confidence in your decision? Join our panel discussion event that marks the release of our latest report: “Rapid Evidence Assessments: A Guide for Commissioners, Funders, and Policymakers” written in partnership with POST, RREAL, and CAPE. As part of a series of IPPO events on Innovations in Evidence, we invite the panel to reflect on how to manage rapid reviews to get the best outcomes, lessons learned—or lost—from the COVID pandemic, and the future of rapid reviews for policymakers, followed by a Q&A. A copy of the report will also be shared with attendees after the event. The event will be chaired by Jonathan Breckon, Thematic Director, International Public Policy Observatory, and guest speakers include: • Andrea Tricco, Associate Professor, University of Toronto; lead co-author of the WHO guide on rapid reviews • Sandy Oliver, Deputy Director, EPPI Centre, and co-author of the Commissioning Guide • Harry Achillini, Evidence Synthesis Lead, Research and Evidence Division, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, UK Please note: This event will be recorded and made publicly available.
