This project seeks to identify ways to restructure the research enterprise to more routinely create rigorous, relevant knowledge that contributes to impactful and equitable societal outcomes. These ways include growing demand for engaged research: processes by which policymakers, researchers, community leaders, and others work together to identify evidence needs, bring together different kinds of knowledge and expertise, and use evidence to accomplish shared goals. To support this work, universities and the other institutions that are central to the research ecosystem must develop their capacity to support engaged research and other forms of policy- or societally-relevant scholarship. Momentum on these issues comes from all sectors of society. The federal government has prioritized open and impactful research through the Year of Evidence for Action and the Year of Open Science and related directives. Funders have recently launched or scaled up initiatives for supporting engaged research and mobilizing universities toward institutional change. In order to explore how institutions can advance engaged research and to provide a context for leaders of related initiatives to connect and better align their efforts, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine will convene a 1 1/2 day public workshop on building institutional capacity for engaged research and other forms of policy- or societally-impactful scholarship. Following the event, the National Academies will publish a report that summarizes discussions at the meeting. The workshop and report will anchor a follow-on set of activities to enact ideas that emerge during discussion.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在确定重组研究企业的方法，以便更经常地创造严谨、相关的知识，从而有助于产生有影响力和公平的社会结果。这些方式包括对参与式研究日益增长的需求：政策制定者、研究人员、社区领袖和其他人共同努力确定证据需求、汇集不同类型的知识和专业知识并利用证据实现共同目标的过程。为了支持这项工作，作为研究生态系统核心的大学和其他机构必须发展自己的能力，以支持参与式研究和其他形式的政策或社会相关奖学金。这些问题的动力来自社会各界。联邦政府通过“行动证据年”和“开放科学年”以及相关指令，优先考虑开放和有影响力的研究。资助者最近发起或扩大了支持参与研究和动员大学进行制度变革的倡议。为了探索机构如何推进参与式研究，并为相关倡议的领导者提供一个联系和更好地协调他们的努力的环境，美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院将召开一个为期一天半的公共研讨会，讨论建立参与式研究和其他形式的政策或社会影响奖学金的机构能力。会议结束后，美国国家科学院将发表一份总结会议讨论的报告。该讲习班和报告将安排一系列后续活动，使讨论期间产生的想法付诸实施。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
