The Impacting Policy by Accelerating Translation (IMPACT) Program aims to influence real-world decision-makers to use data and science to inform their work. IMPACT provides UCSF faculty and staff with resources and training in collaborating with a broad range of stakeholders to quicken the adoption of evidence-informed policies in healthcare, government, industry, and other sectors.
Our work is housed in the Clinical & Translational Science Institute and takes advantage of the enormous capacity UCSF already carries to support real-world decision-makers.
Applying research to inform local, state, and federal policy has allowed us to take what we have learned as researchers and improve the health of the community.
