Using Your Research to Shape Policy with Dr. Steve Woolf

Presented on April 8, 2026, C. Kenneth and Dianne Wright Center for Clinical and Translational Research for a Research Impact Series seminar: "Using Your Research to Shape Policy" with Steven H. Woolf, M.D., M.P.H., Director Emeritus of the VCU Center on Society and Health, and Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Population Health.

Policymakers don't read scientific journals, so this presentation explores ways of pairing scientific research with concise lay products and strategic outreach to media and policymakers in a language and format that draws attention and makes data useful to decision makers. This event is part of the Wright Center's Research Impact Series, which runs through May 2026, equipping researchers with a toolkit to bridge the gap between science and real-world application.
