Abstract
Widespread concerns exist about whether the research produced within academic settings is useful or usable for decision-making and whether policy and practice organisations are sufficiently evidence informed. Embedding researchers into policy and other settings may represent one way of radically changing the ecosystem in which evidence is generated and applied. Bridging links between where research is produced and where it could usefully be applied could help to produce research evidence that more closely matches the need of decision-makers. Such roles could be a way of enhancing research capacity within policy/practice organisations to enable them to become more involved in the research process either as consumers, generators, commissioners, influencers, stakeholders or a mixture of these roles. There may also be benefits for research organisations through maximising the impact of research that is produced. This research explored what form embedded researcher interventions take and the influence they have, with a particular focus on public health settings.
