New: impact case studies launched

12 July, 2023

Dear colleagues,

Sharing some news from Elrha’s Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises programme (R2HC).

Over the last decade, R2HC has supported more than 100 humanitarian health research studies. Our aim is that evidence we fund influences humanitarian policy and practice and improves health outcomes for people affected by humanitarian crises.  As you know, this is often challenging in reality, and little evidence has been developed on how research impact happens in humanitarian contexts.

Now, ten years on, we are sharing a collection of detailed case studies documenting impacts delivered from research studies and exploring successful strategies and contextual enablers for influencing humanitarian policy, practice, knowledge, and capacity with evidence. 

Explore the case studies  https://www.elrha.org/research-impact-case-studies/

Over the next weeks until 25 August, Elrha will be profiling each of the case studies on our website and social media, evidencing how humanitarian research has led to change. In September, a virtual event will be held to explore the learning from the case studies.

I would be very grateful if you could share in your networks and on social media. For a communications pack, please click here. https://www.elrha.org/how-humanitarian-research-leads-to-impact-communic...

I hope you find the case studies interesting, and that you might consider joining us for our virtual event in September.

With kind regards,

Cordelia
