How Research Drives Policy and Public Understanding
Research reaches impact when it is seen, understood, and used. These metrics reflect how evidence moves into policy conversations, media coverage, and public awareness. Figures shown are annual totals for 2025.

My next book comes out of engagement with policymakers and advocates that Equitable Growth facilitated! It’s been enormously helpful to hear from advocates and policymakers what would be helpful.

Advancing policy research
Equitable Growth raised the profile of my policy relevant research. It helped connect my research to relevant policy platforms.
If it weren’t for Equitable Growth’s Dissertation Fellowship, I would probably not have been able to stay in academia or get a research job after my PhD. I have been doing policy-relevant work recently that results from being part of networks that EG helped me build. Therefore, bringing together these researchers who wish to contribute to the policy debate is a great contribution EG makes.
