Policy briefs as a communication tool for development research (pdf 230kb)

This background note presents recent research by the Research and Policy in Development (RAPID) Group at ODI the Science and Development Network (SciDev.Net) on the research communication environment involving researchers, policy-makers and development practitioners from the North and South in science, technology and innovation.
