[Anna Cowan]

Emerging Health Policy Research Conference

The Great Hall, University House, The Australian National University

Friday, 12 October 2007

The Menzies Centre for Health Policy invites you to join us for the  
Emerging Health Policy Research Conference.

The conference will showcase the work in progress of current doctoral  
and post-doctoral researchers.

Dr Dan Fox, Emeritus President, Milbank Memorial Fund (http:// 
www.milbank.org/) will be delivering the keynote address. Dr Fox's  
presentation is entitled: Theories and Methods vs. Evidence: How  
Research Informs Policy Over Time

Conventional wisdom for over a century has been that evidence from  
research (that is, data and findings) can inform policy under  
particular political and cultural conditions. Such phrases as  
"evidence-based policy" and "knowledge exchange and transfer" express  
the currently fashionable version of this wisdom. On the contrary,  
the most significant and enduring effects of research on policy have  
been the result of policymakers' internalization of the theories and  
methods of science (including clinical and social science). This talk  
offers examples of internalization and its effects over time from the  
fields of economics and health services research. I draw these  
examples from both research and my first-hand experience in the  
politics of policy.
