Harvard lecturer wants to clone CRFR model

A 'clone' of the CRFR model should be deployed to research institutions who want communicate
with policy makers according to Harvard Kennedy School Lecturer Tim Nelson in his summary
remarks of the Qualitative Research into Policy Making in Malta on 14 and 15 Jan 2010.
"The presentations by Sarah Morton, Jennifer Fluekiger ... brought home the potential role of institutions
and networks which bridge the worlds of academic research and policy making ... What a brilliant
idea—hiring a smart and media-savvy person to package research for the potential users, including
policymakers. We should clone Jennifer and each have a copy of her working for our organizations,"
he wrote.

CRFR Co-Director Sarah Morton and Information and Publications Officer Jennifer Flueckiger both
gave presentations to the conference detailing the CRFR approach to Knowledge Exchange, the role
of the Knowledge Exchange team and the Centre's experiences in the Scottish context.
