As someone eager to turn research into tangible outcomes, do you recognize any of these situations?

  • You’ve spent weeks producing a beautifully designed report or whitepaper, and the whole team feels proud about how it showcases your research. But you can’t seem to get your key stakeholders to open it up and read it.

  • You’ve been diligently following the advice to “listen to your audience,” and you’ve had so many consultations that you can picture the exact suite of multimedia communications you need to create. But you have no idea how to build it.

  • You’ve invested time, energy, and money developing a strategy to mobilize your research findings, but all you have to show for it is a plan that no one is really sure how to execute.

  • You’d like to do more to promote your research findings, but you’re so swamped with other tasks that you can’t seem to find the time, let alone the creative energy.

  • You have some great ideas about how to communicate the value of your research to your broad audience—and so does everyone else on the team. With so many competing possibilities, it’s hard to get anything started.

  • You’ve hired an intern to help with social media and graphic design, but although they seem to be a whiz with Canva, the products they’re generating look a little amateurish. They’re not really showcasing what your research has to offer your stakeholders.

If you can relate to one or more of these scenarios,
then you’ve come to the right place.

"Dawn Henwood is an amazing coach and an engaging presenter. NBIF has worked with Dawn to offer a series of writing workshops that empower academic researchers to improve their writing for broader audiences. Each of these online workshop sessions have been extremely informative and much more of an active discussion than merely a webinar with questions at the end. Dawn is a fantastic resource for the innovation ecosystem.”
