Are you looking for toolkits and templates that can help you kickstart or increase your engagement with policymakers? Do you want practice-based, easy to digest resources that you can download to support your work?

The CAPE Resource Navigator is a brief document which provides an overview of our more comprehensive toolkits and guides. To help you find the right resource for your problem, regardless of how experienced you may be, the Navigator poses a series of commonplace issues and situations that can be approached with CAPE resources. Once you’ve chosen, we give a breakdown of the resource including what it is, who it’s for, when and how to use it and include further readings from CAPE’s library of case studies, reports, and blogposts.

The following resources are currently included in the Resource Navigator:

• ‘Engaging with Evidence’ Toolkit
• Guide to commissioning Rapid Evidence Assessments
• Project Scoping Template for beginning policy engagement projects 
• Guide on co-production in regional academic-policy engagement
• Guide on setting up a Policy Fellowship Programme for policy professionals to visit universities
• Contracts Guidance Note for academic placements in policy organisations
• Plus related case studies and blogs

We hope that the navigator will make these resources more approachable and will invite you to apply them in your own context, whether you’re trying to engage with evidence for policymaking or looking to set up a policy fellowship programme in your institution.

If you are interested in exploring further any of these resources or would like guidance and support in their application, please get in touch.
