The Policy Research Continuum

The Applied Research and Translation (ART) Team uses the Policy Research Continuum to understand which policies are likely to make the greatest impacts on cardiovascular health.
Policy Research Continuum: Early evidence assessments; policy surveillance; implementation studies; policy rating; impact research. All lead to dissemination and implementation and scale-up.
