Activities
We can help LDI Fellows to repackage and effectively communicate your research and expertise to different audiences. Our products include:
- Briefs: Whether covering a specific piece of research, a body of knowledge on an issue, or new data analysis, our briefs provide a concise description of research evidence and place it in the policy context.
- Blog Posts: With posts written by LDI Fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, LDI staff, and external contributors, our website provides a platform for drawing connections between new pieces of research and commentary on the latest policy developments.
- Research Snapshots: Responding to more visual ways of communicating, Penn LDI research snapshots summarize the main points of a study using fewer words and more visuals than our briefs. These products are popular and easily shareable on social media.
- News Features: Highlighting the impact and recognition of our Fellows as subject-matter experts, our feature stories share research findings, as well as more on the individual(s) behind them.
- Targeted Outreach for Op-eds and Research: Enhance the impact of your online publication with targeted outreach. By boosting your views, you’ll effectively connect with policymakers, funders, and advocates, facilitating your work’s advancement.
