Communicating science to policy: Writing policy briefs on why your science matters

Navigating the New Arctic Community Office (NNA-CO) and the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) offered an online workshop series to help researchers and collaborators communicate with policy makers. SEARCH & the NNA-CO walked through how to frame and prepare your Arctic research to be submitted as an “Arctic Answer” for publication in Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research (AAAR), a peer-reviewed journal. Arctic Answers are two-page briefs designed specifically to share science with policymakers. Participants had the opportunity to work on developing a brief with experienced guidance. These are the slides from the first session in this series on January 18, 2024.
