Many types of evidence can be incorporated into the policy process. Evidence is interpreted while considering quality and ethics, and effectively translated from scientific sources into useful communications and data visualizations. Evidence is examined from across a wide range of policy areas including healthcare, poverty, climate change, among others – all while considering the current reality of big data and algorithmic information environments. A broad understanding is required to translate evidence meaningfully and ethically into the design, implementation, and evaluation of public policy.
